Suprema wins marketing award for Leicester City stadium biometrics integration, Imprivata honored

A video depicting biometric fingerprint devices as part of an access control solution provided by Suprema to Leicester City Football Club’s King Power Stadium in the UK has won the Hermes Creative Gold Award for Outstanding Video Content.

Suprema and creative partner TMF marketing have been honored with the award for a case study video on the implementation of its technology by the soccer club.

The stadium’s Head of Security Ian Coulton talks about using the system for efficient time and attendance tracking for 460 security stewards, and depicts the BioEntry W2 and other fingerprint recognition devices from Suprema being used by staff. Coulton notes the importance of being able to integrate Suprema’s technology with the stadium’s existing access control system. Ease of registration and use, the sleek look of the devices, and the ability to use biometric data from the devices in several different roles were key decision-making factors for Coulton. The “expandability” of the system going forward is Suprema’s main advantage, he says.

Johnson Controls Regional Sales Manager Damian Moore discusses the complexity of the installation to a 32,000 Premier Football League stadium, and the support provided by Suprema.

“It was great to share our story through video and now even greater to have the content honored by Hermes Awards,” says Jamie McMillen, Managing Director of Suprema Systems UK Ltd. “Hermes Award recognizes Suprema’s efforts and reaffirms our belief that customer testimonial is the best source of engaging content.”

Imprivata meanwhile has been named the number one company by Client Satisfaction for Identity Governance solutions in the 2020 Black Book Survey of healthcare IT users.

The Imprivata Identity Governance access control system, integrated with HER systems and Imprivata Authentication Management platform, automates identity and risk management processes to support easier compliance and focus on quality patient care. During the COVID-19 crisis, Imprivata Identity Governance has allowed healthcare organizations to onboard clinicians, stand up services with employees working remotely, and secure sensitive health information.

Healthcare and medical software products were evaluated on 18 areas of performance, and Imprivata’s technology scored first in 11 of them, including strategic alignment of client goals, marginal value adds and modules, data security and backup services, and best of breed technology and process involvement.

The appearance is the third in a row by the company on the ‘Top Healthcare Industry Technology Security Solutions’ list.

“We’re proud to receive the #1 overall ranking from Black Book as the top Identity Governance solutions provider, and we see this as validation that optimizing identity and access governance is the first step toward securing an exploding volume of patient, provider, and non-employee data in healthcare,” Gus Malezis, president and CEO of Imprivata says. “More importantly, we’re thrilled that many of our 2,500 global healthcare customers — through this survey — have validated Imprivata Identity Governance as their top choice for provisioning, authentication, authorization, de-provisioning and auditing.”
