OneSign Virtual Desktop Access for VMware View

No Click Access to VMware View

Imprivata OneSign® enhances VMware View™ virtual desktop environments by adding strong authentication technologies, single sign-on and location-awareness to the virtual desktop.

VMware View users benefit directly from:

  • No Click Access™: Using fingerprint biometrics and/or card authentication, users have No Click Access to their virtual desktops with a tap of an ID badge or finger. And, with single sign-on they can access all authorized applications without any additional logins.
  • Fast, follow-me desktops: Users that move between workstations can quickly retrieve their VMware View desktop, in its current state, with the swipe of an ID badge or finger.

Organizations deploying VMware benefit from:

  • Simplified compliance: Imprivata OneSign centrally tracks and audits all application access for compliance and governance.  Using OneSign, organizations can automate password changes and let OneSign manage all password and strength requirements without users having to remember ever changing passwords.  And OneSign Secure Walk-Away® locks down unattended workstations automatically, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Customized authentication and access: Organizations can add location-aware intelligence to virtual desktop access and authentication. Using OneSign ProveID, organizations can require re-authentication at the point of sensitive transactions.

Imprivata uses VMware APIs for seamless supported integration.  Imprivata OneSign supports a wide range of clients, including zero-client PC-over-IP (PCoIP) devices using Teradici firmware.

For Healthcare: Streamlining EHR Workflow

To achieve Meaningful Use, healthcare organizations need to enhance the clinician workflow. Imprivata OneSign helps by streamlining access to the virtual desktops and applications with No Click Access - a swipe of an ID badge or finger.  

Using OneSign with VMware View offers clinicians:

  • Fast, no click access to their virtual desktops and access to all authorized applications, including EMR, PACS, CPOE and others
  • A follow-me virtual desktop that maintains its state between workstations
  • Secure unattended workstations using Secure Walk-Away
  • Re-authentication for chart signing, CPOE and e-prescribing using ProveID

Clinicians like using OneSign because they can focus on patients, not technology. And hospitals and clinics appreciate the measurable improvements in compliance, physician satisfaction and time savings. 

A recent research report by The Ponemon Institute, the leading privacy and information management research firm, shows that clinicians can save up to 15 minutes a day with the use of Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions such as Imprivata OneSign®. Watch the webinar on single sign-on in healthcare.
