Raxco Becomes 1st Passlogix Reseller in Finland

HELSINKI, Finland & NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Passlogix(R), Inc., developer of the market-leading v-GO(R) Sign-on Platform(TM) for enterprise single sign-on (ESSO), today announced the addition of Raxco Finland to its Platinum Partner program. Raxco is the first v-GO reseller in Finland, offering local organizations a comprehensive single sign-on suite that eliminates the need for end users and administrators to manage multiple user-created application passwords.

v-GO complements Raxco's portfolio of system administration software, ranging from products that manage user accounts and helpdesk operations to Windows systems performance and remote application access. The firm has provided IT administration solutions and services to hospitals, local governments and companies of all sizes in Finland and the Baltics for more than 15 years.

"We have products to assist customers with user account management and identity management, but we were missing a link to strong authentication and enterprise single sign-on that we needed for our healthcare and local government clients in particular," said Juha Tolvanen, CEO of Raxco Finland. "The Passlogix v-GO platform gives us reliable ESSO functionality, easy implementation including the ability to quickly support legacy applications, and seamless interoperability with strong authentication devices like smartcards and proximity cards. This will allow us to provide the local market with a best-of-breed solution that has been implemented successfully around the globe."

"The addition of Raxco Finland to our partner network is the latest example of how we continue to build our channel and expand our global reach," said Scott Bonnell, Vice President of Business Development for Passlogix. "More organizations than ever are aware of the need for a comprehensive password management strategy, and partners like Raxco are instrumental in implementing v-GO as the cure for password overload."

The v-GO Sign-On Platform is built around v-GO SSO (v-GO Single Sign-On(R)), which automatically and securely signs the user into any number of Windows, mainframe or Web applications after a single network logon without additional identification and authentication processes. This reduces the security gaps, administrative overhead, user frustration and help desk costs associated with the use of multiple application passwords. It also facilitates access reporting for regulatory compliance purposes.

The v-GO platform also includes five add-on products that extend v-GO's single sign-on capabilities to any form of strong authentication and to kiosk environments; enable all identity provisioning systems to automatically inject user credentials into v-GO SSO; permit self-service reset of forgotten Windows passwords; and centralize management of strong authentication devices.

Enterprises frequently deploy v-GO before implementing identity management or two-factor authentication because v-GO can go live quickly and seamlessly integrate with all major identity management systems as well as any combination of smart cards, badges, proximity devices, tokens or biometrics. v-GO can be deployed on existing servers without adding dedicated or proprietary hardware, scales to support organizations of any size, and is used in enterprises around the world with 6 million licenses sold.

Passlogix solutions are available immediately from Raxco Finland (www.raxco.fi/).
