Single Sign-On Company Launches in California

The Data Center Mandate: Consolidate We Must

Conferenza Newsletter, October 11, 2004

Encentuate of Foster City, CA uses agents to resolve identity and access management to secure the increasing number of access points in an enterprise system. Peng. T. Ong, founder and CEO, previously was founder and chairman of Interwoven, co-founder of Match.com and Electric Classifieds. In a conversation we found him knowledgeable and impressive. Peng told investors that users having to access all sorts of apps and ASPs' Web sites create vulnerabilities: "You end up with lots of access points," he said. Encentuate's solution is to create an agent layer between client and server that deals with the the increasing complexity, which far surpasses Passport's capacity. The agent keeps track of users IDs and manages authentication, not just for enterprise PCs, but for mobile devices as well. The agent cost, he said, averages about $80 per user. We liked Encentuate's focus on data centers burdened by HIPAA compliance issues. They claim 20 customers in the health care and services industry including Affymetrix, CMC Hospital and Northwest Hospital Customers.

Lessons from Google

"At Foster City start-up Encentuate, CEO Peng Ong says he's learning from Google, even after launching two other companies, Interwoven and Match.com. His company sells software to help companies integrate their computer systems, and Ong says he focuses on making money the traditional way—off every piece of software he makes. But Google has taught him the value of developing useful products for customers, even if there's no immediate way to make money from it."

Peng is one of three Silicon Valley entrepreneurs interviewed on what the Google IPO means for business and new tech companies.
