ASANTE HEALTH SYSTEM SELECTS SENTILLION FOR SINGLE SIGN-ON

After A Rigorous Vendor Analysis, Sentillion Selected for Its Proven Ability to Integrate All Types of Applications Quickly and Easily at a Competitive Cost of Ownership

ANDOVER, Mass. - January 11, 2007 - After demonstrating that its single sign-on (SSO) solution can integrate quickly and easily with all types of applications and, most importantly, can do so at a competitive price, Sentillion today announced that it has been awarded a contract with Asante Health System (Asante), an award-winning healthcare organization in southern Oregon, which operates one of the nation's top cardiovascular facilities.

Asante thoroughly reviewed several SSO vendors in search of a solution that would help eliminate the burden of multiple passwords and improve physician satisfaction with its Siemens Soarian® solution and other clinical applications. The selection process, initiated by the release of a request for proposals, culminated in both a thorough on-site proof-of-concept evaluation and a two-day clinical evaluation of offerings from several different vendors. Part of the proof-of-concept implementation involved a session with Asante's IT organization to integrate Siemens and applications developed internally into each vendor's SSO offering. Using Sentillion's BridgeBuilder product, even non-technical users were able to integrate applications into the Sentillion single sign-on environment as part of the evaluation process.

In addition, Asante's selection team studied other aspects of each vendor's current implementations and their technology, and conducted numerous reference calls with existing customers.

"In the end, it came down to two vendors. Sentillion finally won us over with their ease of integration, very positive customer references, and the value delivered in their fixed price implementation," said Mark Hetz, CIO, Asante Health System. "Our IT people were quite impressed with Sentillion's architecture, security, and deployment methods, and the fact that their solution included all the services required for our go-live event made them very competitive from a total cost standpoint. Lastly, we liked that Sentillion offers a comprehensive suite of identity management products and that in the future we could source additional solutions such as user provisioning from one vendor."

Asante will begin rolling out the SSO solution to 3,000 clinical users across its healthcare facilities within the next few weeks.
