1. Savings: In tighter economic times, you want to be sure that you're getting the best value for your dollar.
• Customers tell us that our simple, competitive pricing makes Sphinx a "must buy" over many other options in the marketplace. The Sphinx Enterprise software's single, per end-user license fee includes both the end-user and the administrator/server software, plus the complete feature palette.
• When you add it up, you'll see that Sphinx is typically a fraction of the cost of competing solutions that charge separate fees for end-user and admininistrator software, feature modules, server modules, interface modules, etc.
• Factor in the "time is money" equation, and the savings is substantial. For employees: No more valuable time wasted trying to remember or find passwords. For administrators: Greatly reduced logon support calls from forgotten passwords.
• In terms of protecting your assets: Don't forget about what you stand to lose if your network security is breached because of lax password security.
2. Security: Because your network can't wait for increased security.
• Sphinx' password management and two-factor authentication provide the strong authentication recommended by Homeland Security and required by government regulations such as HIPAA.
  
• Built on the stringent secure protocols of the smart card industry, Sphinx protects data with layers of encryption from the card to the secure server. Tough multi-key challenge/response protocols ensure only authorized transactions succeed.
  
• Buy with confidence from an IT specialist. We have provided specialty software for critical data security processes, specializing in smart card technology, since 1996.
  
• Our years of experience ensure that the features you require to optimize the security of your network are included, such as "pull card to lock, logoff, shutdown", automatic generation of strong passwords, PIN and password control, admin-managed logon entries for end-users, synchronization with Active Directory, and much more.
3. Simplicity: Amidst economic cutbacks, you need a solution that doesn't require much of your valuable time, and doesn't require the costly installation fees of other more complex solutions.
• As an "add on" solution rather than an "infrastructure" solution, Sphinx fits into the secure Windows environment that you've already established, with no need for infrastructure changes.
  
• Sphinx works out-of-the-box with compatible cards and readers, and is ready for use in minutes.
  
• Compare with competing "infrastructure" solution products that require weeks or months to be integrated into your environment, require complex interface and module setups, and charge you every step of the way.
4. Stability: Now more than ever, you need to know that the software you're buying will continue to be supported for the next 5, 10, 20 years - protecting your investment, ensuring that your money is well spent.
• Trusted by customers around the world for the last 10 years, Sphinx is a seasoned product with the reliability of years of field experience built-in. Our no-nonsense approach to solving the "password problem" has enabled us to thrive amidst various economic climates and IT fads.
  
• Dedicated to continously updating and optimizing the software to meet customer needs and platform changes as they develop.
  
• Other companies with a diverse product line may regard card-secured logon as only a side product - a way to sell more hardware or one of many software solutions. Their priority may not focus on their logon software and their specialty skillset may lie elsewhere.
  
• As a specialty software company, we are dedicated to the continuing success of the Sphinx software. Customer satisfaction with the Sphinx software will always have top priority.
5. Future-proof: Make sure the software decision you make today gives you choices in the future.
• Dedicated to open interoperability standards, the Sphinx software works with a wide variety of industry standard cards and readers, giving you more options in the future.
  
• Sphinx is the choice of customers who don't want to commit to the potential limitations and price control of one proprietary vendor, where hardware options are limited to the vendor's offerings and set prices.
  
• Our open API gives you the additional option to link to third-party software solutions as desired.
