Motion, Sig-Tec partner for mobility, identity and access management solutions

Motion Computing, a mobile computing and wireless communications computer, and Sig-Tec, an identity and access management software solutions company, have created a partnership to deliver solutions for mobility, information security and clinical workflow.

The Austin, Texas-based Motion and the Chanhassen, Minn.-based Sig-Tec said they support their solution through Motion’s Mobility Solutions group, a team that maximizes mobility, technology and software as they partner with their clients to understand clinical workflow behavior and wireless network infrastructure needs and requirements. With the addition of Sig-Tec’s identity- and access-management software, organizations have the ability to address application management (single sign-on), identity management (authentication) and session management (user switching, hot desktop, single patient selection/context management).

Of the configuration options available, the companies said their combined solution establishes improvements to workflow including one-step biometric fingerprint authentication for clinicians to gain access to applications and patient records on Motion C5 mobile clinical assistants.
