Germany's Envision Software Becomes Passlogix Platinum Partner
v-GO Sign-on Platform Will Enhance Firm's Identity/Access Management Offerings
April 23, 2007 — Hamburg, Germany and New York, NY; Passlogix®”, Inc., developer of the market-leading v-GO®” Sign-on Platform™ for enterprise single sign-on (ESSO), today announced the addition of Envision Software GmbH to its Platinum Partner program. Envision, a German-based provider of identity/access management and integration solutions, serves mid-sized and large enterprises with workforces ranging from 1,000 to tens of thousands in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Envision is adding v-GO to its practice to support advanced single sign-on implementations, particularly ESSO projects that also involve strong authentication and identity provisioning deployments. v-GO’s core password management functionality enables corporate employees to access to any type of Windows, mainframe or Web application with a single Windows logon, and the platform includes add-on solutions that tightly integrate with any authenticator from tokens to smart cards as well as all leading identity management systems for seamless exchange of user credential information.
Envision also selected v-GO because of its rapid implementation capabilities, scalability, hundreds of successful deployments, and low total cost of ownership made possible by the product architecture. The v-GO platform can be quickly implemented using patented client-side intelligence that eliminates the need to write scripts or connectors even to homegrown or legacy applications; requires no modification to business applications; and can be deployed on existing servers without adding dedicated or proprietary hardware.
“v-GO gives our clients a proven ESSO platform that has sold more than 6 million licenses to organizations around the globe, it is able to support the largest and most complex customer environments, and it also offers out-of-the-box integration with most of the identity management systems we sell including IBM Tivoli, Oracle and Sun,” said Peter Scharkowski, Managing Director at Envision Software. “This makes it a significant enhancement to our services portfolio and an important tool for clients that need to strengthen their identity infrastructure.”
“Envision has a strong specialization in identity and access management as well as expertise in implementing single sign-on technologies. As a result, they are skilled in the combined ESSO/identity provisioning deployments that are becoming increasingly important in today’s marketplace in general and to v-GO users in particular,” said Scott Bonnell, Vice President of Business Development for Passlogix. “We rely on our channel partners for consulting as well as fulfillment, and Envision has the skill set to become to be a valuable addition to our partner network.”
The v-GO platform is built around v-GO SSO (v-GO Single Sign-On®”), which automatically and securely signs the user into enterprise applications after a single network logon without requiring additional identification and authentication processes. This reduces the security gaps, administrative overhead, user frustration and help desk costs involved with the use of multiple application passwords.
The v-GO Sign-On Platform also includes five add-on products that extend v-GO’s single sign-on capabilities to any form of strong authentication and to kiosk environments; enable all identity provisioning systems to automatically inject user credentials into v-GO SSO; enable self-service reset of forgotten Windows passwords; and centralize management of strong authentication devices.
