BoSS Award Logo 
The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program of THINKstrategies' new Cloud Computing Showplace which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
 

FastPassCorp is a global provider of self-service, password reset solutions for Active Directory and other applications headquartered in Denmark. Its FastPass Password Manager permits a user to click on an "I forgot my password" button to reset their password and synchronize different logins. This tool can reduce support requests and costs.

 

An example of the measurable business benefits which can be gained from FastPassCorp's solution is the security firm G4S which has used FastPass Password Manager to reduce its end-user forgotten password related support calls from over 1200 in 2009 to approximately 500 in 2010.

 

It is for this reason that FastPassCorp has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://cloudshowplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1454.

 

"We are very pleased to receive this industry recognition from THINKstrategies' SaaS Showplace for the measurable business benefits our solution delivers," said FastPassCorp CEO, Finn Jensen. "IT departments are now turning support into self-service, where password reset / unlock is the foundation. With more than 300,000 users from service providers and organizations, FastPass is positioned for continued growth."

 

"Reducing day-to-day support costs is becoming imperative for organizations of all sizes," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace which now a part of the new Cloud Computing Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "FastPassCorp's Password Manager addresses a universal issue in an efficient and cost-effective fashion."
