Success Stories:

In Their Own Words...

Dianne Nixon
IT Program Manager,
Addenbrooke's NHS


For Addenbrooke’s Hospital, part of the NHS, with 1,100 beds, 31 clinical applications and over 6,500 employees, password issues had become a major problem. Their plug-and-play OneSign SSO deployment quickly relieved user frustration, improved system administration, addressed regulatory compliance, and set the course for their vision of a single ID, single authentication NHS smartcard.

With more than 3,500 beds across 13 hospitals and 70 satellite locations, BJC Healthcare was in need of a powerful - yet straightforward - solution to help streamline and secure access to data for more than 4,000 physicians overwhelmed with passwords.  Hear Patrick Heisinger, BJC Healthcare's Sr. Technical Specialist, discuss how Imprivata OneSign helped their organization address their physicians' plea for password sanity - while simultaneously improving security and compliance reporting system-wide.

AMAG Pharmaceuticals has experienced rapid growth over the last year which has led to a substantial increase in their workforce.  Today, AMAG uses a total of 12 hosted environments for applications such as workgroup collaboration, sales force automation, travel and expense management and payroll information. As a result, AMAG employees found themselves having to manage a growing number of application passwords.  Nathan McBride, executive director of IT at AMAG quickly realized that Imprivata OneSign would alleviate not only AMAG’s growing password ailments but also compliance burdens such as Sarbanes – Oxley and FDA regulations.

General Hospital is a non profit, critical access facility located in Nebraska. While undertaking an electronic charting initiative, they quickly realized that the number of passwords staff would need to remember was going to be problematic. Box Butte was able to come up with a collaborative solution that not only solved the password management issue but also increased system security.

Rifat Ikram, VP of electronic delivery and support services, shares how the implementation of SSO and finger biometrics has allowed Justice FCU to do more with less. Employees save time because they are not struggling to remember forgotten passwords, they are not locked out of applications, and they are not calling the helpdesk for password resets. Users have secure access without having to remember their passwords. “All of our employees—whether loan officers, customer service reps, or IT—are more productive. In addition, customer-facing employees can dedicate more time to serving member needs,” says Ikram.
