"Due to the volume of incoming requests for biometric security products from existing and potential customers, we wanted to partner with a reputable authentication technology vendor that specializes in the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) market," said Al Kappel, Senior IT Consultant, S&A Consulting Group. "Saflink's proven technology, longevity in the market and responsiveness to our customers' needs outshined the offerings of competing vendors. In particular, we believe that the company's reseller support infrastructure and hands-on participation during sales cycles is a valuable means for gaining competitive advantage."
SAFsolution and EntryPoint are strong authentication products designed to lower the cost of password management and increase user convenience. Through a variety of strong authentication methods, including biometrics and smart cards, SAFsolution integrates with Microsoft Windows Active Directory to boost network and workstation authentication security. EntryPoint enables SMB organizations to replace the standard password-based Windows log-on process with biometrically enabled plug-and-play USB flash drives to increase security and productivity.
"For more than 20 years, ISG has helped its customers improve business processes and streamline operations through the use of technology," said David DeShazo, Security Sales Consultant, ISG Technology. "To preserve our legacy, it is vital that ISG continue to align itself with cutting-edge technology partners that understand the unique needs of our key vertical markets, including healthcare and government. Saflink's extensive experience in these fields and its understanding of our business needs made this partnership a very easy choice."
