Encentuate IAM for Manufacturing

Improve Throughput and Increase Accountability for Manufacturers

Manufacturers today are faced with controls such as Sarbanes-Oxley and the Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR Part 11), which force companies to implement audits, validation systems, and documentation for software and systems. These controls can be both costly and ineffective if a manufacturer cannot authenticate users and track workflows.

Encentuate IAM for Manufacturing provides manufacturers with best-of-breed identity and access management to improve worker productivity and quality of output, while maintaining centralized control over information access. The solution enforces compliance with increasingly stringent regulatory and domestic security controls. Selected by world-class manufacturers, the solution combines best of breed single sign-on & sign-off capability with workflow automation, strong authentication, centralized policy administration, and user provisioning.

Comprehensive session management and fast user switching capabilities, combined with single sign-on and sign-off, streamline workflows and greatly reduce time-to-information on the manufacturing floor. Productivity, security, and audit capabilities are particularly crucial for manufacturers as they must increase efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance. Encentuate enables multiple end-users to share a computer simultaneously, switch across users without the need to log out, or face the risk of getting locked out. The solution also allows individuals to maintain their private desktops while sharing the workstation with co-workers. Work can be secured on the desktop so employees can leave and return to resume their work exactly from where they left off. Employees who want their desktops to "follow them" can use Encentuate's roaming desktop support. Deployments can be tailored area-by-area to streamline workflow on shared workstations.

Benefits

• Enforced access control: Encentuate secures information from unauthorized access. Strong authentication ensures the person is who they say they are, mitigating the risk of IP loss.



• Improved accountability: The solution offers centralized application logs to track who is responsible for what. Managers can identify root causes of quality control problems by tracking operator activities.



• Increased throughput: Encentuate allows users to obtain operational efficiencies by reducing keystrokes through Enterprise Single Sign-on. Idle time is reduced by eliminating password reset requests. With the solution, users have reported more than 85% reduction in time-to- information, and manufacturers can decrease IT helpdesk costs by up to 40% due to a dramatic reduction in password related calls.



• Centralized Management of Information Access: Encentuate provides web-based identity and workflow policy management. The solution can integrate with any provisioning system through Encentuate's User Provisioning API, or with certified provisioning solutions.



• Enforced Compliance: Encentuate provides out-of-box compliance security requirements such as SOX, Part 11 and RoHS. The solution ensures compliance by providing user-centric tracking across the enterprise end-points combined with powerful reporting capabilities and the ability to automate sign-off requirements.



• Easy Integration and Fast Deployment: Encentuate automates access to all web, desktop, and legacy applications without any need for infrastructure or application changes. As a result, deployments are rapid, reducing implementation inefficiencies and improving return on investment.
