That's a not-uncommon "security" feature $bigco will add as a requirement for buying software as well. Honestly, it's not a terrible policy if you're working with privileged information. A contact mine had with a big insurance company required a 30 minute inactivity logout I think. OTOH if your job is filling out spreadsheets and forms for a retailer and you don't even have access to customer info, it's way overkill. Nuance tends to be the first thing tossed out the window when dealing with $bigco though, too many people to manage smartly.
