Motion and Sig-Tec Partner
to Provide Mobility and Identity and Access Management Solutions to Healthcare
Organizations
Companies introduce
joint solutions that dramatically improve clinical workflows and patient
experiences
Austin, TX – February 2, 2008 – Motion Computing®,
a leader in mobile computing and wireless communications, and Sig-Tec®,
a leader in identity and access management software solutions, announced today
that they have created a partnership to deliver industry-leading solutions for mobility,
information security and clinical workflow.
The partnership comes after several joint client initiatives at major
healthcare and academic organizations where the companies implemented solutions
that improve workflows, free up resources and improve patient experiences.
Motion®
and Sig-Tec jointly support their solution through Motion’s Mobility Solutions group,
a dedicated team that specializes in creating the best working environment by
maximizing mobility, technology and software as they team with their clients to
understand desired clinical workflow behavior and wireless network
infrastructure needs and requirements. With the addition of Sig-Tec’s identity
and access management software, organizations have the ability to quickly
address application management (single sign-on), identity management (strong
authentication) and session management (fast user switching, hot desktop, single
patient selection/context management) for ultimate workflows.
“Motion is pleased to be working with Sig-Tec,
an industry leader in identity and access management software. Sig-Tec’s
software solutions can enhance the mobility offered by Motion tablet PCs by
enabling users to more quickly access information while computing on-the-move,”
said Mike Stinson, vice president of marketing, Motion. “Sig-Tec’s flexible, scalable solution is an
ideal fit for healthcare customers that are looking for ways to make processes
faster and easier for their organization and want to leverage the full mobility
of tablet PCs with enhanced authentication capabilities.”
An example
of the solution is deployed at a major university healthcare organization. Of
the many configuration options available, the solution establishes improvements
to workflow including one-step biometric fingerprint authentication for
clinicians to gain access to applications and patient records on Motion C5
mobile clinical assistants (MCAs).
Clinicians need access to the MCAs and applications upwards of 100 times
a day. Now, rather than manually typing
a username and complex password each time, adding minutes to each interaction
and detracting from overall patient care, the C5s with embedded fingerprint
readers and Sig-Tec’s AppStarter SSO solution allow the clinicians to
significantly improve the speed, ease and accuracy of patient care.
Whether healthcare
organizations are just beginning to investigate mobile solutions or are seeking
to improve existing identity and access management processes, Sig-Tec and
Motion have proven experience in delivering industry-leading solutions. The companies will work together to make the
solutions available through Motion’s network of distribution partners.
“Sig-Tec is
pleased to be working with Motion, an industry leader in mobility healthcare
solutions. We both have seen firsthand with our clients the many difficulties associated
with meeting the necessary but often troubling healthcare requirements for privacy
and security,” said John McGuire, national sales manager, Sig-Tec. “With our combined solutions we can improve
the speed and performance of user workflows while addressing those requirements
that usually have a negative impact on end-user experience.”
Based on
proven market successes, Motion and Sig-Tec will initially focus on the
healthcare industry, but intend to expand service availability across enterprises
in vertical markets seeing to deploy mobility and identity and access
management solutions.
