Passlogix®, Inc., announced today that its flagship v–GO® Sign–On Platform TM has been renamed the v–GO® Access Accelerator Suite TM, reflecting the full range of integrated sign–on, provisioning and authentication solutions now available under the v–GO umbrella. The new branding spotlights v–GO´s ability to securely expedite user access to business systems and applications both within and beyond the four walls of the enterprise.
v–GO is best known for its enterprise single sign–on functionality for on–site employees - the area where v–GO got its start and has secured a strong market lead over the last decade for its ability to solve the problems associated with the proliferation of application passwords. Today, however, the v–GO platform encompasses a much broader set of capabilities.
The suite also includes solutions for granting and managing application access for the extended enterprise such as partners, suppliers and contractors; controlling access to privileged and shared accounts; enabling strong authentication to applications; rapidly and accurately reconciling user IDs to dramatically reduce the time required to plan and deploy identity management systems; and more.
The common denominator in all v–GO suite components is the ability to eliminate everyday challenges in sign–on, authentication and provisioning that decrease business productivity. These challenges are caused by factors including out–of–date and/or inconsistent processes, multiple siloed applications, and lengthy or incomplete identity management system implementations.
By removing these barriers, the v–GO modules collectively enable businesses to improve operational efficiency, strengthen enterprise security and regulatory compliance readiness, and streamline identity management deployments. The "˜v–GO Access Accelerator Suite´ name expresses these benefits in a broad sense while simultaneously shifting from an exclusive focus on v–GO´s sign–on roots to encompass its expanded functionality.
"Customers around the world and in virtually every industry are using our technology for much more than user password fatigue and ESSO. It was time for the suite name to catch up with these changes," said Passlogix CEO Marc Boroditsky. "The "˜v–GO Access Accelerator Suite´ designation captures the range of benefits that our customers have come to know we deliver."
"Enterprise single sign–on began as a point solution. Passlogix was among the first vendors to recognize that related sign–on, authentication and provisioning solutions could be bundled into an integrated package for easier administration and support of the identity management infrastructure. Rebranding v–GO shows how the product and the market have matured," said Sally Hudson, research director, security products and services, IDC.
A new Passlogix website that debuts today at www.passlogix.com - along with the new company tagline "˜Speed Access, Enable Business´ - describes all products in the v–GO Access Accelerator Suite and the business benefits in detail.
