NextGate Announces Continued Success with Western Connecticut Health Network
PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextGate, the leading healthcare technology company for patient and physician identification that supports care team collaboration, today announced successful partnership growth with Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) as the network forms a Shared Savings Program. As one of the largest providers of healthcare identity management technology, NextGate and WCHN are working together to further improve patient identification efforts by more accurately identifying and linking patient and provider data.
WCHN identified a need for a comprehensive solution that could provide full management of patient identity data to support all functional and transactional systems in their network, and they selected NextGate's Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) to meet these needs in 2012. Since that time, they have worked with NextGate to implement distinct and configurable settings so they can control, set thresholds, route and manage exceptions of data within the EMPI. Their network also needed a solution which demonstrated multi-entity and multi-environment capabilities, and NextGate has grown with them by offering flexible, configurable and innovative solutions to help WCHN achieve greater results.
"With 1.8 million patient medical records to manage, we knew WCHN needed a comprehensive and highly developed tool to empower our care teams with accurate and actionable data," said Joyce Rice, director of health information services at WCHN. "We have been so pleased with our three year partnership with NextGate, and with their help, we have reduced our duplicate record rate to approximately two percent."
"WCHN's forward-thinking and committed approach to proactive healthcare will truly benefit their patients by providing relevant, concrete data that can be used to improve the quality of care," said Andy Aroditis, NextGate CEO and co-founder. "We are thrilled to be a part of this partnership where we are growing together in an evolving healthcare landscape. We look forward to serving WCHN, so we can continue to enable meaningful collaboration among care providers, departments and organizations."
NextGate's EMPI solution enables organizations to automate duplicate record clean- up, eliminate duplicate registrations and provide faster, more accurate patient lookup while promoting a consistent overall patient experience. The company is celebrating its 10 year anniversary in 2015, and this milestone marks a decade of NextGate's collaboration, commitment and innovation in the healthcare industry.

Varonis DatAdvantage Gives Rabobank Full Control Over Data Access and Permissions; Enables Regulatory Compliance
NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today detailed how its DatAdvantage for Windows and DatAdvantage for SharePoint solutions help Rabobank, a Dutch multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands, control its data access and permissions and enable regulatory compliance.
Full Visibility into Data Ownership, Full Control over Permissions Management: With so much unstructured data, including application data and departmental information, Rabobank needs to know that this data is only accessible by the people who should have access, and that data owners are formally assigned.Varonis DatAdvantage for Windows and DatAdvantage for SharePoint ensure that only the right people have access to the right data at all times, all access is monitored, and abuse is flagged.
"With all kinds of sensitive, unstructured data mixed up in one location, we needed to determine who initiated this data, who was responsible for this data, who was using it, and which user should and shouldn't have access," said Sebastiaan van Putten, technical engineer, Rabobank. "Varonis DatAdvantage provides us with actionable intelligence on which excess file permissions and group memberships can be safely removed without affecting business processes."
Reduce Risk and Full Compliance with a Least-Privilege Access Model: Without a logical or optimal permission structure in place, it was nearly impossible to identify who was working with the data and to which department it belonged. With DatAdvantage, it's easy for Rabobank to see who's doing what because the solution tracks and monitors file activity, analyses user behaviour, reports on all activity happening on file servers, and makes permissions management straightforward.
According to van Putten, "Varonis DatAdvantage has greatly helped us identify owners of unstructured data because of its bi-directional view on permissions − all necessary information like groups, users, and folders are available. DatAdvantage presents this data in a useful way so that we can easily share the results with the business and determine the best way to organise and control our unstructured data."
Enable Regulatory Compliance: Rabobank needed to prove it could control access to corporate and customer data as part of the financial industry's many regulatory requirements. Also, with a presence in over 70 countries, Rabobank required a solution that would be capable of managing data access and control across a global organization. With DatAdvantage, Rabobank can intelligently identify and govern who owns and can access which data, and receive alerts and reports that satisfy all regional compliance regulations.
"DatAdvantage also automatically generates regulatory driven reports, which are required on a monthly basis as part of the financial industry in which we operate," concluded van Putten.

Information in this press release that involves the Company's expectations business prospects, plans, intentions or strategies regarding its future are forward-looking statements that are not facts and that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "should," "plan," "goal," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Among the factors that could cause the Company's actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements set forth in this release include the following: the ability to maintain or renew the Company's licenses; competitive developments affecting the Company's current products; first-party price reductions; availability of capital under our credit facility; commercial acceptance of new in-home gaming consoles; the ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; unanticipated product delays; or a downturn in the market or industry. A further list and description of these and other factors, risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in the Company's most recent annual report, and any subsequent quarterly reports, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments. Forward-looking statements believed to be true when made may ultimately prove to be incorrect.
