KLAS Single Sign-On Performance Report Names Imprivata’s OneSign® Solution #1

Company Rates Highest Customer Scores for Clinician Satisfaction, Productivity and Workflow Enablement.

LEXINGTON, Mass. — December 21, 2010—Imprivata, the #1 independent single sign-on and access management provider for health care and other regulated industries, today announced that KLAS, the health care industry’s leading independent research firm, has named Imprivata’s OneSign® the number one Single Sign-On (SSO) product in its “2010 Single Sign-On: To Identity Management and Beyond” report.

“Imprivata led the pack as the highest-rated vendor in this report, excelling in keeping promises, ease of use, and delivering a product that works as promoted,” commented Paul Pitcher, author of the report and research director at KLAS. “Imprivata received more positive commentary on the solution’s ability to improve clinician satisfaction and employee productivity than any other vendor in this report. “

Imprivata’s emergence as the market leader in the KLAS Single Sign-On report comes on the heels of the company’s “Strong Positive” rating in the Gartner 2010 Marketscope for Enterprise Single Sign-On and further validates the value that Imprivata OneSign brings to healthcare organizations today. The company has seen unprecedented growth as hospitals and clinics turn to SSO and Strong Authentication to accelerate adoption of clinical applications to meet the government’s requirements for Meaningful Use of electronic medical records (EMR). Today more than one million care givers rely on Imprivata OneSign for fast and secure access to EMR and other healthcare applications.

“It is a very exciting time to be in the healthcare IT industry,” commented Ed Gaudet, Chief Marketing Officer at Imprivata. “The KLAS SSO report substantiates the elevated interest in Single Sign-on and Strong Authentication as a key component in accessing EMRs. From what we’re hearing from our customers, every hospital will require single sign-on to achieve meaningful use and CPOE requirements. ”
