BizFlow Integrates with Entrust?s Internet Security Solution Providing Enhanced Security for its Business Process and Collaboration Solutions

11 Mar 2002

Vienna, VA - HandySoft, a leader in innovative business process software, today announced that it has been awarded Entrust Ready status.  The integration of Entrust/PKI? 5.1 (now named Entrust Authority?) with BizFlow?, a comprehensive set of Web-enabled, collaborative tools and business process management engine, will provide end users with additional security functionality to enable them to more confidently collaborate across the enterprise, as well as with their customers and partners.

The Entrust Ready designation is awarded by Entrust, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTU), and refers to products and services that have been reviewed for compatibility and interoperability with Entrust Authority 5.1 software.  To achieve the designation, BizFlow successfully completed an architectural review, verification test, non-conformance reports, and product file.  Through the use of the authentication features in the Entrust Authority Security Manager software, HandySoft is now able to offer its BizFlow users a higher level of confidence in the validation of digital signatures, and in the protection of data contained within forms and documents.

"Entrust is recognized as the leading innovator in Internet security solutions," said John Salimbene, vice president of marketing and business development at HandySoft.  "With Entrust Ready status, we are maintaining our leadership position in secure business process management by providing our customers with trusted, high impact business process management solutions that address uncertainty and security concerns created by the real-time global marketplace."

The Entrust Authority software product portfolio represents the backbone of Entrust enhanced Internet security and enables identification, entitlements, verification, and privacy with security management across enterprise, Web portal, and VPN applications.

"Entrust was the first Internet security solutions provider to recognize the value of combining authorization technology with PKI and to extend this value with XML, wireless devices, and other innovations," said Charlene Acres, senior director, partner solutions at Entrust.  "HandySoft offers an innovative process management environment, and through its Entrust Ready designation, BizFlow customers have an extra layer of assurance that their information will be protected throughout the workflow process."

HandySoft has provided enhanced security in the BizFlow product for the past two years.  The BizFlow and Entrust Authority Security Manager solution is installed and operational in government and commercial entities.  As companies re-engineer their mission-critical business processes through portal and enterprise applications, BizFlow's security features will enable them to implement the highest level of security available.
