Monday, May 24, 2010

BIO-key International has announced that enterprise software developer Evidian has integrated BIO-key’s biometric software into their Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO) solution and that the resulting solution has been deployed to two major pharmaceutical companies with a collective 15,000 users.

The SSO solution now enables users to log-in to the system once with a swipe of the finger and immediately gain access to any of their protected files and or applications without the need for additional passwords or tokens.


Among the reasons Evidian chose BIO-key’s solution to integrate biometrics into their system is its ability to talk to a large number of fingerprint readers. Both companies are reporting anticipation of the new opportunities the partnership will offer them. [end]
