OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. and WEMMEL, Belgium/PRNewswire/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI), (www.vasco.com),
a leading software security company specializing in authentication
products and services, today announced that the Belgian IT company
Adapti, specialized in cloud computing, has installed DIGIPASS as a
Service for strong authentication of its online applications.
Adapti is a Belgian cloud computing specialist, active in the Benelux
countries. Its core activity is the implementation of its clients' 'in
the cloud' CRM-programs that assemble information about customers, sales
figures and marketing in an orderly and efficient way. Adapti focuses
on the B2B market and has well-known telecom operators as well as other
large names in the financial, medical, ICT, building and automotive
sector in its customer base.
DIGIPASS as a Service is VASCO's 'in the cloud'-based authentication
offering. The DIGIPASS as a Service platform is hosted and managed by
VASCO. As VASCO takes care of the entire authentication process, Adapti
can give full attention to its own core activities.
Adapti provides its CRM end users with a personalized DIGIPASS GO 6.
The company logo on the DIGIPASS device gives the cloud application
integrator more visibility. This allows Adapti to differentiate itself
from competition.
As Adapti is a cloud specialist itself, the company truly understands
the added value the cloud concept offers. Customers don't have to
invest in a software installation at start-up. Furthermore, they can
choose to upgrade or discontinue the service at any given time at a
relatively low cost. In-house IT resources are thus no longer necessary.
An upgrade of the platform is done automatically by VASCO.
"As a cloud specialist, we are certainly aware of the importance of
an 'in the cloud' application. The implementation of DIGIPASS as a
Service for the safeguarding of our online CRM and communication program
is an important step forward. Thanks to VASCO, we are able to offer our
clients an even better service by securing their confidential data
default with strong-user authentication," says Mario Schrapen, Adapti's
business manager. "An important plus of this service is that the entire
authentication process is hosted by VASCO. We no longer have to dedicate
IT resources to the deployment and management of an authentication
project, allowing us to focus on our own business activities."
"By launching DIGIPASS as a Service, we demonstrated that we strongly believe in the cloud computing concept," says T. Kendall Hunt,
VASCO's Chairman and CEO. "We are therefore very pleased to see that
our latest business model gains momentum in this future-oriented
sector."
