Datakey Becomes Microsoft Certified Partner

As a Microsoft Certified Partner, Datakey ensures that its security solutions integrate fully with Microsoft operating environments, and that its products operate seamlessly with Microsoft software including Windows, Active Directory, IE and other applications. Datakey Axis uniquely enhances identity management within a Microsoft environment offering seamless provisioning of passwords and other credentials directly to a users smart card. Datakey Axis is a smart card-based Single-Sign-On (SSO) solution that addresses the current password management problem while providing a foundation for introducing stronger authentication methods. With an innovative client-only architecture and patent pending Rapid Deploy technology, organizations can quickly and easily implement the solution without undertaking a major infrastructure change or requiring end user training. Datakey Axis essentially serves as an ATM card for usernames and passwords -- a user presents a password or PIN to the smart card and the Axis software takes over all login and password management (eg. change) functions without requiring user action -- a true single sign-on experience.
