Tectia Oyj 21.02.2011 08:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - February 21, 2011, 2011-02-21 08:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ANDRITZ AG, an Austria-based global supplier of customized plant and power systems for heavy industry, has decided to use Tectia MobileID, a highly scalable two-factor authentication solution for authenticating the company's employees. Fastest to deploy and easiest to use, Tectia MobileID makes use of the end user's mobile phone as an authentication device to provide a high level of security for user access to enterprise services. The solution will be deployed globally, providing more than 14,000 employees with secure remote access to ANDRITZ corporate IT services inside the company network. Mr. Matthew McKenna Senior VP for Global Channel Operations of Tectia, commended ANDRITZ for the decision to implement a best-in-class solution that would accommodate the scale of its global operations. 'Companies such as ANDRITZ understand that with its one-time passwords sent to devices that users already have, Tectia MobileID reduces the cost and increases the security of remote access for all stakeholders. Furthermore, since no additional hardware is needed, they were able to benefit from a flexible and scalable implementation provided on a subscription basis,' he added. Mr. Juhani Eronen, Manager, Networks of ANDRITZ Oy's IT Infrastructure unit in Finland said that he was pleased with the cooperation with Tectia. He added that Tectia Solutions were the ideal choice for a company operating globally, facing many challenges in providing secure user access due to diverse conditions in different geographical locations. 'We have subsidiaries and other stakeholders in Europe, North America, Asia and South America. It's therefore difficult to implement a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution in such varied locations. Tectia MobileID allowed us to strengthen our authentication procedures globally, using a solution that has been very easy for users to adopt,' he explained.
