Ms. H. Abdul, the company's president elaborated by saying that the company has been working diligently to add LDAP integration. ESC hired Fischer International based in Florida (http://fischerinternational.com), a leader in Identity Management, to guide the choice of tools and completing the testing. The choice was made to add Shibboleth sp (http://Shibboleth.net) to EqMARS. This enables ESC to serve customers belonging to the InCommon Federation (http://www.incommon.org).
"The first version of EqMARS was launched in 2009, then additional features and improvements kept coming." says H. Abdul.

Current release versions 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 of EqMARS added several efficiency and stability fixes. More details are available on the software's website and in previous press releases.
"EqMARS has been developed around well-defined business practices and user roles, with flexibility to handle different business models and usage scenarios, and the ability to make customizations. The company says it is reaching more clients by launching aggressive marketing campaigns such as offering free license for the first 3 months and giving educational and non-profit discounts", Abdul says, "ESC markets the software worldwide, mainly in the US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, and Australia."
