IT management company ManageEngine has automated Google Apps provisioning for ADManager Plus, its Active Directory (AD) management and reporting software.

ManageEngine also has added Microsoft Office 365 reporting and a BitLocker recovery password and key package retriever to ADManager Plus.

The company said the new features are designed to help businesses streamline AD-related tasks.

“We’re enhancing ADManager Plus to meet the demands of managing both on-premise and cloud technologies,” Manikandan Thangaraj, ManageEngine’s director of product management, said in a prepared statement. “Now, we’ve added Google Apps account provisioning.

ADManager Plus pricing starts at $495, and a free 30-day trial can be downloaded here.
