ActivCard Announces New Incentive Program To Help Companies Replace Their Expiring RSA SecurID Tokens

ActivCard ®, Corp (Nasdaq: ACTI), a global provider of strong authentication and trusted digital identity solutions for secure remote access, single sign-on and enterprise access cards, today announced a US-based incentive program to enable companies to simply and affordably migrate from their soon to expire RSA ® SecurID ® tokens. Several global business leaders have already made the switch.

“The total cost of ownership is important to all information technology managers,” said Ben C. Barnes, Chief Executive Officer at ActivCard. “Our secure remote access tokens, which we began manufacturing in 1995, provide customers with a quality solution at a much better price. Additionally, only ActivCard can provide a seamless, credible path from tokens to enterprise access smart cards.”

In addition to the $15 price point per token, with no expiration date and lifetime replacement, ActivCard is offering an added incentive to customers migrating away from RSA with a competitive migration license discount and, for a limited time, a free ActivCard Secure Wireless LAN (WLAN) Authentication license for orders of 100 tokens or more. This allows organizations to deploy the latest in WLAN security, compliant with Wi-Fi Alliance - WPA and 802.11i security standards.

ActivCard ® provides four ways to help SecurID customers reduce their remote access budget up to 50 percent:

ActivCard Tokens are on average less than one-fourth the price of RSA tokens. With lifetime replacement, ActivCard provides a superior return on investment for companies looking to empower their mobile workforce while securing their network.
Integration paths with corporate directories like Microsoft ® Active Directory™ and Novell ® eDirectory™ eliminate costly dual administration and time consuming synchronization processes.
Integrated industry-standard WLAN security, meeting the Wi-Fi Alliance and 802.11i standards, avoids deploying multiple authentication servers.
By providing a cost effective and smooth migration from RSA ® to ActivCard, users will have little to no disruption.
To further enable a smooth migration away from legacy systems, ActivCard and its channel partners have created an optional fixed price Professional Services Migration Package, to ensure a quick and efficient transition with minimal effort and impact to users.

“A fixed price Professional Services package ensures the migration to ActivCard will be seamless and efficient,” continued Mr. Barnes. “Making the change to ActivCard has never been easier or smarter.”
