Enterprise Single Sign-on with Workflow Automation

SC Magazine Award for "Best Single Sign-On Solution", 2006
SC Magazine Award for "Best Identity Management Solution", 2007

Encentuate Single Sign-On provides enterprises with increased employee productivity, lower IT helpdesk costs, and stronger levels of security by removing the frustration of multiple passwords and eliminating complex password management policies. Now users can enjoy fast access to all corporate applications, web, desktop and legacy, and network resources with the use of a single, strong password on personal and shared workstations.

Declared by SC Magazine as the "Best Single Sign-On Solution" in 2006 and the "Best Identity Management Solution" in 2007, Encentuate Single Sign-On increases user productivity and enables fast access to corporate information with improvements of up to 90% by extending the ESSO functionality to provide workflow automation on shared and personal workstations. With Encentuate, users can automate the entire access workflow – application login, drive mapping, application launch, single sign-on, navigation to preferred screens, multi-step logins, and more.

The solution also delivers single sign-off across all applications and the ability to configure desktop protection policies to prevent unauthorized access to confidential corporate applications. If a user walks away from a workstation without logging out, Encentuate can be configured to enforce inactivity timeout policies such as configurable screen locks, application logout policies, graceful logoff, and more.
