The First Microsoft.NET Self-Service Password Reset Solution

 

 

Some things users should do for themselves

 

San Ramon, California. - March 12, 2002 - Avatier Corporation, a leading provider of award winning Microsoft-centric Enterprise, Administration, Security and Productivity applications for the Global 2000, announced today the immediate release of Password Station.

Password Station is the first and only Microsoft.NET product that allows employees to securely and easily reset their forgotten password without help desk intervention. Password Station reliably confirms user identities prior to allowing them to reset their own password, which eliminates the risks and complexities inherent in relying on the help desk to verify the identity of each user requesting a password reset.

Forgotten passwords waste valuable employee time, tie up constrained support resources and directly lead to lost revenue. According to Gartner, this endless problem accounts for over 30% of all Help Desk calls and leaves employees idle. Simply put, when systems are inaccessible, businesses lose money. Password Station enables employees to regain 24X7 access to vital business resources and applications and be productive again.

"Avatier's newly released Password Station provides a valuable solution for today's corporate customers who have come to rely on Exchange to conduct their business and cannot afford the lost productivity when passwords are lost," said Brian Valentine at Microsoft, product manager of the .NET initiative. "Microsoft is excited to be working with Avatier, a .NET developer, to offer customers an easy to use solution that boosts their productivity by maintaining access to Exchange 2000." Microsoft recently recognized Password Station as MEC Awards 2001 Finalist.

Designed using Microsoft's cutting edge technology, Visual Studio .NET, and leveraging the .NET Framework, Password Station also maintains backward compatibility to Microsoft Windows NT4 and Windows 2000.

"We built Password Station from the ground up on Microsoft .NET technologies to provide our customers with a robust and scalable enterprise solution. The Microsoft .NET platform will give our customers the ability to integrate the Password Station functionality into their own internal applications. Password Station directly addresses one of the biggest network drains on productivity, the lack of access to network resources." stated Nelson Cicchitto, CTO of Avatier Corporation "We developed Password Station in direct response to the needs of our large corporate customer base."
