Tools4ever, a market leader in Identity & Access Management (IdM/IAM) solutions, has introduced a new feature for its Single Sign-On product, E-SSOM. One Touch Access allows end users to log in easily and quickly, simply by holding a pass card against a card reader. They will then gain access to all permitted applications within 8 seconds. Changing workstations is now also simple, as the session is automatically locked allowing all opened applications to follow the user to another workstation. Thanks to this technology end users no longer have to enter and remember passwords.
One Touch Access is particularly suited to organizations where employees work on different computers and deal with major time constraints, such as hospitals or other healthcare organizations. Doctors who have to visit patients in various different locations require quick, easy and above all, secure access to medical patient records wherever they go. With One Touch Access they can now authenticate themselves simply by holding their badge to the card reader.
E-SSOM One Touch Access can also be used in networks that use desktop virtualisation. Using a virtualized desktop (Microsoft RDS, VMware View and Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop) allows end users to easily change workstations. Any type of pass card can be used for One Touch Access, including employee access badges already in use at the organization.
