Encentuate Improves Caregiver Productivity and Secures Access to Patient Information at Stamford Hospital

Encentuate combines rapid user switching on private, shared, and roaming desktops with single sign-on to streamline clinical workflows

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - November 14, 2006 - Encentuate, Inc. a provider of end-point identity and access management (IAM) solutions, today announced the availability of fast user switching through private desktops, adding to their existing support for fast user switching through roaming and shared desktops. Encentuate also supports hybrid desktops where users may combine different session management capabilities to meet their needs. With the availability of private desktops and hybrid session management, Encentuate provides one of the most complete session management and fast user switching capabilities in the market.

These comprehensive options for fast user switching and desktop session management combine with single sign-on and single sign-off to streamline workflows and greatly reduce time-to- information. Fast user switching is especially crucial in healthcare provider environments as it enables multiple caregivers to share a computer simultaneously, switch across users without the need to log out, or face the risk of getting locked out. Fast user switching through private desktop allows caregivers to maintain their private desktop while sharing the workstation with other workers. Doctors and nurses can secure their work on the desktop when they leave and then return to resume their work exactly as they left it on the workstation. Caregivers who want their desktops to "follow them" can also use Encentuate's roaming desktop support.

"The ability to quickly access and preserve their desktops, regardless of what computer they use, or where they are in the hospital, enables caregivers to quickly access patient information and ensure that patient care remains top-of-mind," said Peng T. Ong, founder and chairman, Encentuate. "Encentuate continues to deliver innovative solutions and leverage its session management and fast user switching capabilities to ensure that caregivers get seamless and uninterrupted access to patient information, wherever they are."
