Entegrity Solutions and Spectrum Systems Partner to Bring AssureAccess™ Software to Government Agencies

SAN JOSE, Calif. - 4/17/2001 - Entegrity Solutions® Corporation, a leader in access management and application security software and services, today announced a partnership with Spectrum Systems Inc. to facilitate sales of the Entegrity AssureAccessTM next-generation access management software to the federal government. Through this new partnership, Spectrum has added the Entegrity AssureAccess product line to Spectrum’s GSA/FSS Information Technology Schedule (GS-35F-5192G). This Government Wide contract will enhance Entegrity's access to this significant market and greatly speeding up the sales cycle. The partnership will be aided by support from Entegrity's new Washington, D.C. office.

Based on open standards and implemented in pure Java, Entegrity AssureAccess will help government agencies implement privacy policies and protect sensitive information and applications by allowing them to more effectively control who has access to this information. With the most advanced dynamic-policy capability available today, Entegrity AssureAccess helps government agencies to get a broad range of e-government applications online more quickly and securely, while significantly reducing the cost to support, administer and maintain them.

"The provision of full-service network security and information assurance solutions is one of Spectrum's great strengths, and AssureAccess will provide the critical access management component of the end-to-end security solution we offer government agencies," said Ronald Segal, president of Spectrum Systems. "Our partnership with Entegrity Solutions will help ensure that government agencies can maintain the public trust as they expand their e-business systems by protecting sensitive information and applications."

Entegrity AssureAccess makes it easy to tailor fine-grained access management across multiple applications by defining dynamic policies for the four required access management components -- authentication, authorization, audit and administration.

"As government agencies increasingly turn to e-business applications to streamline their operations, access management policy is key to implementing realistic, effective business relationships," said Geoff Charron, vice president of access management at Entegrity. "Our partnership with Spectrum significantly enhances our ability to reach the government market, making it much easier for government agencies to purchase AssureAccess and significantly reducing the time it takes to complete each sale."

Entegrity has established a new Washington, D.C. office to provide the necessary support for their partnership with Spectrum. Located at 1801 Robert Fulton Drive, Reston, VA (phone 877-495-3164 and 703-758-3521), the new office will work closely with Spectrum to assess federal agencies’ needs, participate in joint marketing and sales activities, offer technical support for installation and configuration and provide training assistance.
