Dewpoint Adds Passlogix’s v-GO to Solution Portfolio,
Bringing Leading ESSO Platform to Clients in Midwest
Technology Consultant & Integrator Joins Passlogix Partner Program
March 17, 2009 — LANSING, MI and NEW YORK, NY: – Passlogix®, Inc., announced today that Midwest technology consultant and integrator Dewpoint, Inc. has joined its partner program as a reseller of the Passlogix v-GO® Access Accelerator Suite, an integrated set of single sign-on, authentication and provisioning solutions that includes the market’s leading enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) platform. v-GO will broaden the identity management segment of Dewpoint’s product portfolio, which also includes project management, business intelligence, computer systems, storage and enterprise security solutions and services.
Dewpoint selected v-GO to provide ESSO capabilities that will relieve clients’ employees of the need to create and manage different passwords for every application they must access to do their jobs. Related benefits will include enabling end users to recover forgotten credentials from their desktop, reducing password-related administrative responsibilities, and providing auditing and reporting for meeting regulatory compliance requirements related to user application access.
Dewpoint has offices in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, with customers in those states as well as Kentucky and Tennessee. The 12-year-old firm provides wide-ranging IT infrastructure and business process improvement services to organizations in the government, education, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and financial sectors.
“Many of our clients already have web and federated single sign-on solutions, but they still are searching for strategies to help end users simplify the process of maintaining application login credentials” said Brian Dumont, Dewpoint VP of Professional Services. “v-GO will solve the problem without requiring our clients to go to the expense of modifying their existing single sign-on deployments. It will simply integrate with them.”
“Dewpoint has an active identity management practice, strong relationships with major companies throughout the Midwest, and an established methodology to ensure effective implementations,” said Sean Harris, Passlogix VP of Business Development. “They are a valuable addition to our partner network as well as a highly competent solution provider for any company in their market area that needs enterprise single sign-on or any of the related capabilities of our v-GO platform.”
The v-GO Access Accelerator Suite is designed to eliminate everyday challenges in sign-on, authentication and provisioning in order to improve business productivity, strengthen enterprise security and regulatory compliance readiness, and streamline identity management 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. Other solutions in the suite automate user sign-on and sign-off of kiosk sessions; provide secure management of shared passwords for administrators and others who must share account IDs; enable strong authentication to applications, desktops and networks without expensive custom integration; allow user IDs and passwords to be pre-loaded to the v-GO repository for easy provisioning; and automate the resetting of Windows logon passwords.
v-GO offers rapid implementation, scalability to tens of thousands of users, 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.
