LEXINGTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Imprivata(R), Inc., the converged identity and access management
appliance company, has honored its top three resellers for their
success over the past year. Somerford Associates of Swindon, U.K. was
named iPartner of the year, while "Rookie of the Year" awards went to
Sysec, Ltd. of Amersham, U.K. and VIOPOINT of Auburn Hills, Mich. The
Imprivata iPartner Program helps reseller organizations capitalize on
the fast-growing identity and access management market by offering the
most innovative products available.

"The strength of our resellers has contributed directly to our
customers in gaining control over their access and authentication
issues," said Omar Hussain, Imprivata CEO. "To choose just a handful
from this very talented group of partners is difficult, but the
contribution of these three companies to our customers and to our
organization is undeniable."

Imprivata iPartner of the year Somerford Associates has been in
the iPartner Program since 2005. The company has steadily built a
strong Imprivata practice primarily focused on banking, financial
services and retail clients including some of the most recognizable
brands in the world.

"Imprivata OneSign solves our clients' real business issues in an
elegant and effective manner, and always exceeds customers'
expectations for ease of use and functionality," said Andy Davies,
director of Somerford Associates. "That in turn has made it easy to
win the trust of our customers and strengthen relationships. Imprivata
is a great partner, and this award is an excellent representation of
OneSign's importance to our solutions offering."

VIOPOINT, an iPartner Rookie of the Year, was instrumental in
sales to healthcare and financial services customers in the Midwestern
United States, including recent wins at MeritCare and Henry Ford
Health Systems. VIOPOINT has become one of the program's most
productive U.S. partners.

Sysec, the other iPartner Rookie of the Year used Imprivata's
product strengths, with a focus on password and credential management,
and identity management to serve an important role in strategic wins.
The company won some significant deals with local government and UK
healthcare Trusts during 2007.

"This year we have made it easier than ever for all of our
partners to make the kind of impact evidenced by these companies,"
said Eric Blatte, director of channel sales and programs for
Imprivata. "With new incentives and cooperative marketing campaigns we
are more tightly aligned with our reseller partners in reaching our
mutual goal - delivering intelligent authentication and access
management solutions to ensure customer success."
