ANDOVER, Mass. - April 27, 2006 - Sentillion, Inc., the leading provider of identity and access management (IAM) solutions for the always-on healthcare industry, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning, 1H06.

"We are pleased that Gartner evaluated Sentillion for inclusion in the User Provisioning Magic Quadrant. We believe our position in the niche quadrant confirms what our customers are telling us - that healthcare organizations have industry-specific challenges and require a provisioning solution that meets their unique needs," said Nancy Ham, president, Sentillion. "Our ability to provision deeply into both back-office and clinical applications coupled with our sophisticated delegation model has enabled us to deliver an innovative provisioning solution that meets the complex business and regulatory requirements of the healthcare industry."

In the Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning, 1H06, Gartner positions vendors based on product capability and market performance through March 2006. The Magic Quadrant considers which vendors will likely dominate sales and influence technology directions through 2006, as well as considers which vendors are most visible among clients, generate the greatest number of requests for information and contract review, and account for the most new and ongoing installations in Gartner's client base.
