SENTILLION SETS HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY MILESTONE WITH 221,000 CAREGIVERS LIVE ON ITS SINGLE SIGN-ON SOLUTION

Company Introduces New Product Features & Functionality to Help Facilitate Caregiver Adoption

ANDOVER, Mass. - February 5, 2007 - As the record-holder for the most successful identity and access management (IAM) implementations in healthcare, Sentillion today reported having over 221,000 caregivers live on its solutions.  Sentillion provides identity and access management solutions to the healthcare industry, including single sign-on (SSO), single patient selection (SPS), user provisioning, strong authentication, privacy management and remote access.  In 2006 alone, Sentillion brought more than 69,000 caregivers live as it completed successful implementations at Memorial Healthcare, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Pepin Heart Hospital, Sisters of Mercy Health System, Tenet Healthcare and the University of Michigan Health System, along with many others.

“This year, we saw a real urgency by healthcare organizations to get their CPOE systems implemented and they turned to us to help them overcome the inherent challenges associated with HIS deployments such as physician adoption, caregiver workflow and security,” said Robert Seliger, CEO of Sentillion. “We not only introduced new features and functionality into our existing products to facilitate caregiver adoption, but we also introduced an entirely new approach to connecting remote workforces to the enterprise in order to enable organizations to securely, easily, and cost-effectively extend the reach of their IT system beyond their physical networks.”

Sentillion noted that 2006 was a banner year for the company as it brought to market new and innovative products along with new features and functionality in its core product suite.

New Technologies Introduced in 2006

• vThere™ for Remote Access: Sentillion also continued its track record of innovating new technology solutions to address the identity and access management needs of hospitals.  vThere™ is a packaged desktop virtualization solution, which enables users to run a contained, controlled and fully functional corporate software environment in a virtualized desktop on computers in off-campus venues such as a home or physician’s office.
• SignOn Manager Platform 4.1: The SignOn Manager Platform 4.1 extends the existing flexible, scalable and fault-tolerant architecture to include new features for the centralized administration and automated synchronization of primary and disaster recovery systems. Prior to 4.1, the SignOn Manager Platform provided redundancy capabilities that enabled a high-degree of fault tolerance. Now, with 4.1, the Platform can be deployed across data centers so that they are immune to site-wide catastrophic failures such as power outages or network outages. The result is a seamless capability to maintain mission critical capabilities such as single sign on, single patient selection, and centralized patient record access auditing even in the event of a data center-wide outage.
• Five 9s Uptime: On average, Sentillion’s customer uptime tracks at 99.999% or better, which includes downtime for any reason, even if it is unrelated to Sentillion systems.

With solutions purpose-built for the unique workflow needs of caregivers, Sentillion’s technology can be found in hospitals, clinics, and academic medical centers.   Sentillion, who was the first single sign-on vendor to be recognized by KLAS™ Enterprises, was also named to the research firm’s  2006 Best in KLAS Top 20 Report Card and heralded by its own customers for its ability to deploy quickly and 100% within budget.

“We routinely hear from our customers that the top reasons they select us is because of our experience in the space, the maturity of product offerings, and the value we deliver in terms of cost and caregiver satisfaction,” said Nancy Ham, president of Sentillion.  “We also have, as is evident by the fact that 62% of Sentillion’s customers surveyed for the KLAS Report Card were healthcare organizations over 500 beds, a unique and proven expertise of working with mid-to-large healthcare organizations.”
