CUPERTINO, Calif., March 3, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq:NETM), a software company that provides the fastest way to transform legacy applications into new Web-based business solutions, today announced that Banco Desio, an Italy-based banking company, has deployed NetManage's OnWeb(r) to unify access to proprietary and new applications by enabling Single Sign On (SSO) for its 1,500 employees. Additionally, OnWeb will improve the printing abilities of Banco Desio's legacy applications by providing PDF printing formatting and layout customization.
After decades of integrating new information systems, each of Banco Desio's 1,500 employees had to memorize several passwords with different authentication systems. The system was burdened with delays and Banco Desio encountered problems when updating passwords, which resulted in a reduced capacity in the security of the system. The Information Systems and Organization Division of Banco Desio, in tandem with IT provider Cedacri, set out to streamline the system and identify a solution to integrate and access SSO.
NetManage worked with Banco Desio and Cedacri to develop a script designed as a customized solution allowing integration with Desio Credit applications and Cedacri's hosted SSO. Today, Banco Desio has a single password requirement across all applications, SSO alignment with other institutions served by Cedacri, and the ability to integrate SSO with proprietary, as well as future internally developed applications.
Additionally, the OnWeb deployment allows the Italian bank to export documents and data to a PDF format, using the new iPrint feature in the latest release of OnWeb. The Web interface allows for the printing of documents of contracts and forms that are typically required by clients in a PDF formats quickly with a graphic layout that complies with Banco Desio's company image.
"Integration between applications to achieve a single password; managing a new application for forms with attractive graphic reproduction; the ability to grow competencies and know-how internally; These three important objectives have become a reality thanks to the support of NetManage and OnWeb," states Tiziano Eugenio Colombo of Banco Desio Information Systems and Organization Division.
"Just because companies have been integrating additional processes over the years doesn't mean they have to be slowed down by complex information systems," said Philippe Sebag, director, France, NetManage. "We were pleased to work with Banco Desio's numerous legacy applications, significantly streamlining them to save time and expense."
