Product Family Designed to Revolutionize Information Access for Microsoft Windows Users
KIRKLAND, Wash., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Saflink(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:SFLK), a leading provider of identity solutions, today announced the beta launch of miValet(TM), a new product family delivering a powerful set of managed information features for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) users who regularly work with more than one computer. miValet is specifically designed to eliminate workflow inefficiencies and tighten security for anyone routinely using multiple computers -- a market currently estimated at more than 35 million users in North America alone. The beta program runs through October and is expected to include more than two hundred participants.
By delivering a unique identity centric approach, miValet enables a user to remotely access enrolled data files from any Windows XP-based computer, regardless of where the files were saved. (The "mi" prefix represents managed information tied to the identity of the user.) Combining a biometrically enabled USB flash memory drive and a powerful central identity and storage server, miValet supports transparent, seamless access to information -- without introducing the complexities of implementing and managing a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Each time identity is established, a Windows Explorer interface extends access to all user information via secure, encrypted transport technologies. miValet will initially launch with a hosted service for individual users. Future versions are expected to support an enterprise server option, including access to additional features such as compliance extensions, usage audits and security policy enhancements.
"We believe miValet represents a two-generation leap in the way people interact daily with computers. Right now, we manage information based on where we are, instead of who we are," said Tim Wudi, Chief Marketing Officer at Saflink. "Using miValet, information is immediately available -- regardless of where it was saved -- based on a user's identity, unlike the more common and less effective machine-centric model in use today. By enabling information to automatically follow a user's identity, we believe we've solved an important and cumbersome problem that has been created by the proliferation of computers." miValet is designed for multiple markets and will be available in configurations for knowledge workers, workgroups and the enterprise. Saflink plans to offer miValet software packages for the ISV channel and OEM customers. Saflink is actively pursuing beta trials with manufacturers of flash memory drives, online storage service providers and application-based partners in healthcare and document management.
Beta inquiries should be directed to or call (877) 241-4717.
