SENTILLION RELEASES VERGENCE® PROVISIONING MANAGER™ VERSION 1.8

New Enhancements Include Active Directory Self-service Password Reset and Microsoft Exchange™ Provisioning

SAN DIEGO (2006 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference & Exhibition) - February 13, 2006 - Today, Sentillion, Inc., the leading provider of identity and access management (IAM) solutions for the always-on healthcare industry, announced the general availability of its Vergence® Provisioning Manager™ Version 1.8. New key enhancements in Version 1.8 include automatic provisioning for Microsoft Exchange™, Active Directory® self-serviced password reset and enhanced real-time reporting. Some of the nation's most prominent healthcare organizations, including Cottage Health System and Sisters of Mercy, are successfully using Vergence Provisioning Manager.

First introduced in 2004, Vergence Provisioning Manager was uniquely designed to meet the complex business and regulatory needs of the healthcare industry, including working with clinical applications that have elaborate provisioning requirements, allowing the delegation of provisioning tasks to non-technical supervisory personnel, and providing a single authoritative provisioning solution for all computer users in a healthcare organization, from employees to community physicians to agency nurses to medical students.

"In the highly regulated healthcare industry, it is critical that we implement the most efficient and effective user provisioning process for our more than 2,500 employees," said Alberto Kywi, CIO at Cottage Health System. "Our deployment of Vergence Provisioning Manager has not only enabled Cottage Health System to reduce new-user setup time by 50 percent with the added benefits of security and privacy that HIPAA mandates, but has provided our organization with dramatic IT cost savings. The success we've had with this solution reflects Sentillion's insight into the unique needs of healthcare organizations and its drive to deliver innovative solutions. The capabilities in Version 1.8 have enabled us to continue to automate our processes while also empowering our user community to resolve common problems, such as forgetting their passwords, without relying on calls to our help desk."

Sentillion will be demonstrating Vergence Provisioning Manager Version 1.8 at the 2006 HIMSS Conference & Exhibition, February 13-16 in booth #5832.
