Washington, DC……..November 8, 2006……….Passfaces Corporation today announces the addition of two new partners that will further distribute Passfaces cognitive authentication technology to their existing customers. Altaware, Inc. is a California based security focused VAR with experience securing and accelerating networks in the financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and other markets. ISG Technology provides business solutions with innovative technology to healthcare, financial services and other markets through nine technology locations in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Altaware and ISG Technology will offer the full Passfaces product line under this agreement. The products include: Passfaces Financial, Passfaces Web Access and Passfaces for Windows.
“Authentication capabilities in today’s marketplace are a sought after technology. Our clients are looking to secure confidential data but not at the expense of convenience for the end user. Passfaces’ offering is an easy to use technology that actually makes logon both easy and secure”, said Werner Schmidt, President, Altaware, Inc. “We are anxious to add this innovative technology to our current product offering.”
Passfaces offers three Partner Programs: OEM, Reseller and Certified Consultant. The OEM program is designed for software manufacturers and Application Service Providers (ASPs) who want to integrate Passfaces technology into an existing product or incorporate the technology as part of an ASP service. The Reseller Program is designed for Software Resellers, System Integrators, and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who wish to resell Passfaces products. Passfaces Certified Consultant program is for security consultants engaged in providing businesses with objective and independent security advice and guidance.
"Our company and all of our employees work very hard to stay on the leading edge of technology, while we keep our focus on providing the best possible service to our customers. Being able to offer our customers this unique security product from Passfaces enables us to meet the needs of our customers”, said Eric Smith, Branch Manager, ISG Technology. “We look forward to adding Passfaces to our list of partners, as well as the opportunity to capitalize on the attractive margins the program offers”.
“As we continue to grow our partner program with strong security focused organizations such as Altaware and ISG Technology we greatly increase our ability to address the authentication needs of organizations world-wide. With an easy to use, cost effective solution and the right partners, we can get this much needed solution into the right organizations”, said Paul Barrett, CEO Passfaces.
