Now Offers Industry`s Only Kiosk-Based Multiple Simultaneous Sessions Capability
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Passlogix, Inc., today announced an innovation that dramatically accelerates
user sign-on to clinical kiosks and shared workstations with the newest edition
of v-GO Session Manager (v-GO SM), its market-leading solution for automating
user sign-on and sign-off of kiosk sessions. v-GO SM 7.0 introduces
"multi-session capability" that reduces user logon time to a little over a
second by initiating and managing multiple user sessions simultaneously on a
kiosk. 

v-GO SM is designed to expedite doctors` and nurses` access to patient
information by automating logon to clinical applications with single sign-on
technology, while also protecting patient privacy by automatically locking
unattended kiosks to prevent unauthorized users from viewing patient records. 

Previously, that protection was provided by automatically terminating an
unattended user session. The just-released v-GO SM 7.0 now preserves the
existing session for when that user returns, even if a new user begins to use
that kiosk; keeps multiple sessions open on a kiosk at one time; and provides
very fast switching between sessions. This saves time while still maintaining
full compliance with HIPAA security regulations because:

* The next user can sign on while the first user`s session is still active,
eliminating delays caused when waiting for the first user`s applications and
session to close. 
* When the first user returns, he/she re-authenticates by selecting his/her
session from a list of open sessions on the screen and entering his/her
credentials to verify the user`s identity. 
* Once the user is authenticated, the kiosk displays the last screen on the last
application used before he/she left and also provides access to other previously
opened applications, eliminating both relaunch and navigation time.

Administrators can configure v-GO SM to support any number of simultaneous
sessions, limited only by the memory available on the kiosk. v-GO is the only
client-side technology that supports multiple sessions without requiring any
change to how applications are deployed. 

"In a clinical setting, every second counts. Other solutions intended to
simplify kiosk access waste time by requiring users to repeatedly restart the
same applications and navigate to patient records every time they logon to a
kiosk, as well as requiring each user to wait for the previous user`s session to
terminate," said Passlogix vice president of strategy and product management
Stephane Fymat, "v-GO is the first major sign-on solution to completely
eliminate these delays, saving precious time that can be used for more critical
activities such as patient care." 

v-GO SM is a component of the market-leading v-GO Access Accelerator Suite, an
integrated set of single sign-on, authentication and provisioning products
designed to increase user productivity, improve security and enable regulatory
compliance. Passlogix has sold more than 15 million licenses of v-GO, including
500,000+ to healthcare enterprises from community health systems to Kaiser
Permanente. 

Suite components widely used in the healthcare environment include v-GO Single
Sign-on for single sign-on to individual machines; v-GO Session Manager for user
session management on clinical kiosks and shared workstations; and v-GO
Authentication Manager for extending the reach of strong authentication devices
such as smart cards to applications without requiring any modifications to those
applications. Other v-GO products securely manage shared passwords for
administrators and others who must share account IDs; integrate v-GO with
identity management systems to enable the automated provisioning of credentials
to v-GO; and automate the resetting of Windows logon passwords.
