MRK Technologies Joins Passlogix Platinum Partner Program.

Ohio-Based IT Services Provider Adds v-GO Sign-on Platform to Product Offerings

CLEVELAND & NEW YORK -- Passlogix[R], Inc., developer of the market-leading v-GO[R] Sign-on Platform[TM] for enterprise single sign-on (ESSO), today announced the addition of Ohio-based MRK Technologies, LTD., to its Platinum Partner program. MRK, a provider of enterprise IT solutions and services, selected v-GO as its single sign-on offering because of the platform's rapid implementation capabilities, easy deployment in disparate customer environments, broad functionality, and low total cost of ownership.

MRK serves clients in the financial, healthcare, manufacturing and retail sectors in the Northeast. The firm's professional services include application, project, security and storage management.

"Enterprise single sign-on technology is a valuable tool for reducing the password burden, but most ESSO solutions are difficult, time-consuming and expensive to deploy," said Scott Lowery, Executive Vice President at MRK Technologies. "We feel confident in offering Passlogix' v-GO platform to our customers because it offers rapid time to value compared to other systems, the ability to support other components of the identity infrastructure such as strong authentication and identity provisioning, and successful implementations in organizations of all sizes."

"Our Platinum Partner program is expanding rapidly because value-added resellers like MRK recognize the advantages of our v-GO platform, including the ability to work out-of-the-box with a broad array of applications regardless of operating system, hardware platform, development language, user interface or whether the application originated in-house or out," said Scott Bonnell, Vice President of Business Development for Passlogix. "With the help of MRK and our other channel partners, we continue to strengthen our lead in the ESSO market and assist enterprises in maintaining secure application access without having to manage dozens of passwords for each employee."

The v-GO platform is built around v-GO SSO (v-GO Single Sign-On([R])), which automatically and securely signs the user into enterprise applications after a single network logon without requiring additional identification and authentication processes. This reduces the security gaps, administrative overhead, user frustration and help desk costs involved with the use of multiple application passwords.

The v-GO Sign-On Platform also includes five add-on products that extend v-GO's single sign-on capabilities to any form of strong authentication and to kiosk environments; enable all identity provisioning systems to automatically inject user credentials into v-GO SSO; and enable self-service reset of forgotten Windows passwords.

Passlogix solutions are available immediately from MRK (www.mrktech.com).
