Company's Enterprise Single Sign-On Technology Logs Major Channel Growth

NEW YORK -- Passlogix, Inc. today announced its selection by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Tech vendor for its v-GO Sign-On Platform, a suite of enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) and related solutions designed for fast and secure user authentication to corporate information assets. Passlogix is the only ESSO vendor to make three consecutive appearances on CRN's Emerging Tech list, which identifies companies that deliver high margins for value-added resellers, systems integrators and other solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.

v-GO SSO (v-GO Single Sign-On), the core application in the v-GO suite, automatically and securely signs users into enterprise applications after a single network logon without the need to remember and manage multiple users IDs and passwords. The platform also includes the market's first on-demand ESSO client, the first ESSO-based solution for shared account access, the first tool for managing disparate strong authentication devices, modules that extend v-GO's single sign-on capabilities to any form of strong authentication and to kiosk environments, and other complementary solutions.

Passlogix sells v-GO through an active channel program that has attracted partners around the world, most recently in South Africa and Norway. The v-GO suite equips channel partners with a robust, widely deployed solution to help enterprises resolve the issues associated with multiple application passwords, including user frustration, excessive password-related help desk calls, security challenges, and the need to strengthen controls over application access for regulatory purposes.

"New and innovative vendor partners can help spur profitable new ideas that solution providers can use to build revenue and customer loyalty, and the CRN Emerging Tech list is where solution providers go to find these vendors," said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel editorial.

The CRN Emerging Tech list represents vendors that have an established solution provider program, formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners, a direct sales mix that is trending down as evidenced by the company's revenue history, a channel-positive or channel-neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and a less-than-dominant market share. Final selection was made by the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.

According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, 61% of solution providers plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months. Respondents indicated that the top reasons they add emerging technologies include superiority to competitive products, ability to complement the solution provider's existing practice areas, a desire for alternative product choices, and the ability of emerging vendors to provide better services opportunities, pay better attention to partners, and offer higher margins as well as better joint marketing programs.

"Every organization faces password management and user authentication challenges. Our three-time inclusion on CRN's list reflects our innovative approach to solving the problem, our rapid deployment abilities and seamless integration with an organization's existing security infrastructure, and v-GO's ability to help solution providers extend their identity and security offerings to generate incremental revenues," said Sean Harris, Vice President of Business Development for Passlogix.

The v-GO Sign-On Platform has sold more than 10 million licenses to enterprises around the globe, earned top rankings from industry analysts, and been successfully deployed in the largest ESSO projects in the world. Implementation requires no modification to current applications and no dedicated or proprietary hardware, permitting deployment on existing servers.
