SENTILLION INTRODUCES AFFORDABLE NEXT GENERATION HEALTHCARE SINGLE SIGN-ON SOLUTION CALLED EXPRESSO™

The only healthcare-specific, enterprise-class SSO solution that is low cost, full featured and reduces deployment time from months to days

ANDOVER, Mass. – September 10, 2007 – Sentillion, the company that created healthcare single sign-on (SSO), today announced their next generation SSO solution called expreSSO™.  Developed exclusively for healthcare, expreSSO leverages key elements of Sentillion’s proven identity and access management (IAM) platform to create an affordable “plug and go” solution that makes enterprise-class SSO accessible to the widest range of healthcare organizations possible. Aurora, Illinois-based, Rush-Copley Medical Center, a leading healthcare facility in the Midwest, will be one of the first organizations to deploy expreSSO.

“While working with over 450 hospitals to implement comprehensive identity and access management solutions for their clinical care environments, we noticed an emerging trend where organizations wish to focus initially on single sign-on” said Paul Roscoe, president of worldwide sales & marketing for Sentillion. “expreSSO was created to meet this need by dramatically reducing the cost and complexity classically associated with single sign-on deployments”

Gartner, Inc.’s recent magic quadrant for enterprise single sign-on stated that “most enterprises’ initial implementation times range from three to six months; this is the time it takes to integrate a planned set of applications (from 10 to 20) and to deploy an initial set of users (hundreds to 2,000)1.”
 
With expreSSO, Sentillion has streamlined this once complex process through innovative technology that enables healthcare organizations to deploy single sign-on enterprise-wide in only a matter of days. For example, expreSSO’s intelligent agent technology profoundly simplifies the generation of application connectors through a unique point-and-click methodology that presents each connector’s capabilities as a series of interactive animations. Each animation sequence can be easily configured to meet the specific needs of each target application. Using a wizard, connectors for a broad range of applications – including Windows, Web, and terminal-based – can be easily generated. In addition, expreSSO includes a catalog of pre-built SSO application connectors, which Sentillion continues to expand, that provide “off the shelf” application integration to even further accelerate the speed of deployment and clinical adoption.

Additional key features and benefits of expreSSO include:

• Support for graceful single sign off in addition to single sign on,
• Fast User Switching, enabling users to log on and off of shared workstations in a matter of seconds,
• Built-in support for strong authentication including fingerprint biometrics, active proximity, or passive proximity and combinations of these technologies,
• Enterprise Grace Period to enable organizations to automatically adjust the type of authentication required during the course of each caregiver’s work day,
• Secure self-service password reset, even on a locked workstation, to eliminate help desk calls,
• Intelligent agent technology with extensive catalog of application connectors for rapid SSO integration with Windows, web, and terminal applications,
• Unique animated wizard for rapid point-and-click generation of new application connectors when needed,
• Quick-start wizard for expedited system set-up,
• Plug-and-go with automatic user identity import and ongoing synchronization with enterprise directories along with automated application password learning to enable rapid deployment,
• Easy to use centralized system administration with automatic event notification,
• A proven appliance-based five-nines (99.999% uptime) fault tolerant architecture capable of supporting and maintaining more than 100,000 users,
• Scalable from departmental to enterprise-wide to national deployments,
• Disaster recovery-ready for multi-site active or hot-standby deployment,
• Centralized single sign-on audit log with built-in reporting,
• and an array of fixed-fee services and support options to meet the specific needs of each organization.

For almost a decade, Sentillion has been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to delivering solutions that help healthcare organizations overcome the challenges associated with identity and access management.  The first company to bring an SSO solution on a network appliance to market, Sentillion’s IAM solutions are the most widely deployed in healthcare and used daily by more than 275,000 caregivers.

“With our unwavering commitment to bringing our customers live, Sentillion has clearly established itself as the lowest risk, highest value option among all identity and access management offerings” said Robert Seliger, Sentillion’s CEO. “Now, with expreSSO we are delighted to make the core benefits of our technology even more appealing by offering healthcare organizations a new option: an affordable SSO solution that quickly and easily improves caregiver satisfaction and provides an immediate return on investment.”
