Press Releases SENTILLION UNVEILS SHARED WORKSTATION PERSONALIZATION CAPABILITIES AT HIMSS New Features Combine Fast User Sign On with Personal Preferences to Increase Caregiver Productivity and Satisfaction ANDOVER, Mass. - February 14, 2006 - Today at the 2006 Annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference & Exhibition, Sentillion, Inc., the leading provider of identity and access management (IAM) solutions for the always-on healthcare industry, announced the general availability of a sweeping series of enhancements to the Shared Workstation Personalization capabilities of its Vergence® Authenticator 2.9 product. Sentillion will be showcasing these new features at the 2006 HIMSS Conference & Exhibition, February 13-16 in booth #5832. Complementing Sentillion's Vergence single sign-on solution, Shared Workstation Personalization combines the speed of Vergence-enabled fast user logon pioneered by Sentillion with personalization features generally expected for computers that are truly personal. These enhancements enable caregivers who share personal computers throughout a hospital to continue to single sign on and off in a matter of seconds, and yet still take full advantage of traditional Windows personalization features. A typical caregiver might sign on and off tens of times per shift, and each shared workstation might have dozens, even hundreds, of users during the course of a day. With Shared Workstation Personalization, caregivers who use shared workstations are now able to map personal drives, printers, and document folders, to launch applications and processes as the Windows-authenticated user, and to maintain personal preferences, such as email settings, bookmarks, and desktop configuration. "With our deep understanding of workflow in a healthcare organization, we designed Shared Workstation Personalization to enable caregivers to get the critical information they need quickly, securely and now, in an environment that is personal even when they are not using their own personal computer," said Nancy Ham, president of Sentillion. "Our Shared Workstation Personalization represents just one of Sentillion's innovations that are changing the way the healthcare industry uses information technology to improve workflow and secure patient data." Sentillion's identity and access management products help healthcare provider organizations meet their urgent need for patient safety and privacy, streamlined workflows, regulatory compliance, and protection of data and information sources. Sentillion's Vergence® product suite enables organizations to know who their users are - identity management - and to help them be productive while ensuring system security and guarding patient confidentiality - access management. Vergence is a modularized suite that includes user provisioning, strong authentication, single sign-on, clinical context management and privacy auditing. Sentillion's products are already in use across North America, including nationally recognized institutions such as Cottage Health System, Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's HealthCare, Lahey Clinic, INTEGRIS Health, Parkview Health, Sharp HealthCare, Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Vancouver Coastal Health, and all 163 Veterans' Affairs Medical Centers About Sentillion |
