The "Best Deployment Scenario Awards" recognize security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. The Alegent and Brookdale case studies were selected based on real-world solution deployments that are making the most positive impact on security in today's highly sophisticated threat and compliance-driven environment.
The "Best Deployment Scenario - Compliance" award went to Alegent Health, ranked number one in the U.S. in 2008 for quality and patient satisfaction, according to the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement. Searching for a more effective, efficient solution to ensure appropriate access rights to applications and systems across its user base, Alegent Health deployed Courion's Access Assurance Suite. As a result, Alegent Health is able to demonstrate continuous compliance with a range of regulatory and audit requirements, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) while reducing user provisioning time from days to minutes.

The "Best Deployment Scenario - Identity Management" award went to Brookdale Senior Living, one of the nation's largest owners and operators of senior living communities and services. After acquiring more than 7,000 new employees through an aggressive acquisition strategy, Brookdale deployed Courion's Access Assurance Suite to automate the process of setting up and managing user accounts and to grant users self-service password management capabilities. So far, Brookdale has reduced overall IT costs by more than $150,000; experienced a 60% savings in the amount of time IT staff spends on Sarbanes-Oxley compliance reporting; and decreased Help Desk calls from 400 per month to nearly zero.
