A large Financial Services client successfully implemented their first SAML 2.0 Single Sign On solution using EasyConnect, the SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 SSO product from SSO Easy.
In this representative SSO Easy client case study, the financial services client needed to connect with a strategic partner, acting as the Service Provider, or SP.
The client had never worked with or implemented any SAML Single Sign On solution prior to this project. Given this, the client indicated that they needed a SAML product solution that was easy to use, and cost effective. The deployment needed to be a fast process, as they faced a very aggressive deadline for the project.
The project was successfully completed on time, and on budget. More SAML connections are planned in the future by the Financial Services client, who intends to act as both the Identity Provider, or IDP, and as the SP for the additionally planned SAML connections.

Financial Services companies face enormous challenges in today’s business environment, including:
- Cost containment pressures
- Limited technical staff
- Competitive pressure to maintain and grow client satisfaction
As more Financial Services look to do more with less, while implementing innovative operating models which leverage 3rd party business partner relationships, there is exponential growth in the need for financial services firms to enable secure and efficient SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 based Single Sign On (SSO) capabilities between themselves and their business partners.
These SAML 2.0 SSO connection projects need to be:
- Secure
- Fast
- Easy
- Cost effective
One major US-based Financial Services company represents a classic case study, as they faced all of the challenges outlined above.
To address these challenging requirements, the Financial Services firm selected EasyConnect, the SAML 2.0 Single Sign On (SSO) product by SSO Easy.
By implementing EasyConnect from SSO Easy, the Financial Services client was able to successfully deploy their required SAML 2.0 solution into production. The project was delivered as part of a fixed price contract by SSO, and went into production on time and on budget.

Every bank today faces challenging requirements for enabling SAML 2.0 Single Sign On (SSO) connections with their strategic business partners.
These SAML 2.0 connections typically need to be deployed in a manner that is:
- Fast – business partner SLA’s often require rapid SSO compliance
- Easy – often, there is lno SAML expertise available in the organization
- Cost effective – frequently, these Single Sign On projects are unplanned, and not included in the budget
Recently, a major US Bank customer of SSO Easy faced these very requirements. This scenario is a representative case study for SSO Easy.
For their project, the Bank selected the EasyConnect SAML 2.0 software product from SSO Easy. Using EasyConnect, the bank was able to successfully implement the required solution on time and on budget.
