NPM simplifies the management of windows client system settings, including proxy and wireless management, depending on the active network connection. The software automatically configures client settings to meet the requirements of the new environment whenever the network changes.
I recently had the opportunity to test Packagesoft NPM Pro 2014, and I must say I was impressed with its capabilities. The software provides an easy-to-use way of managing the settings on client computers that connect to multiple networks.
One of the key advantages of this software is its ability to automatically configure a client when a known network connection is established. For example, if a company has multiple locations requiring different configurations to access the internet, NPM Pro makes the transition between these locations seamless. This is especially helpful for employees who have limited knowledge of computer systems or have restricted access.
The software accomplishes this by matching the current network characteristics to a Profile and then applying each of its associated Actions. NPM Pro offers two types of profile: Corporate and User. Corporate profiles are created and managed using the NPM Designer and can be exported to Active Directory for central management. Users cannot modify or delete Corporate profiles.
Depending on a corporation's policy regarding computer use and internet access outside a VPN, each user can specify their own User Profiles that match either their home or other frequently used locations, ensuring internet access is always available.
In addition to profile management, NPM 2014 Pro can also manage Wi-Fi connections based on the availability of a LAN. For Wi-Fi-limited environments, the software can disable the Wi-Fi device, disconnect all Wi-Fi connections or disconnect a specific Wi-Fi connection (based on an SSID) when a laptop is physically connected to a corporate LAN.
Overall, Packagesoft NPM Pro 2014 is a useful software for any company with multiple locations requiring different configurations, or with employees who have limited knowledge of computer systems or restricted access. Its easy-to-use and effective profile management system can simplify and streamline network connectivity.
