A K-12 School District who had previously implemented Google Apps Education Edition recently deployed SSO Easy’s Google Apps Single Sign On (SSO) EasyConnect software product solution.

In this representative SSO Easy Case Study, the SAML 2.0 enabled solution was successfully implemented in 1 day.

The client had no prior experience with SAML.

No coding was required to implement the solution.

A recent SSO Easy client, in a representative case study, successfully implemented SAML 2.0 based Single Sign On (SSO) function for 15,000 GMail users.

The challenge that this Google Apps customer faced was that they wanted to provide a secure environment for GMail, while also providing an easy to use software solution that enabled convenient user access to their GMail accounts.

The project was completed successfully in about a day and a half.

Google has created tremendous demand for Google Apps, and for GMail, the email component of Google Apps.

In order for the potential benefits of Google Apps and GMail to be realized, the integrated email system must be secure and easily accessible by users.  Single Sign On, or SSO, is the means by which this secure and convenient access is provided to users.

In order for organizations to provide Single Sign On capability for their GMail users, the SAML 2.0 protocol must be supported by the organization through the implementation of a SAML 2.0 compliant product solution.

SSO Easy provides an out-of-the-box product which enables Concur Premier users to securely access Concur Premier without having to provide an additional ID and Password.

SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 protocols are supported natively in the Single Sign On / SSO product.

Among the many benefits that the product provides to Concur Premier customers is that the required SAML implementation is dramatically faster and easier, while being completed for significantly lower cost than with any other solution approach. 

Concur Premier is the leading product solution for Expense Management and for Travel Management.

Many Concur Premier clients want to enable Single Sign On, or SSO, for their users.  In order for those clients to enable this type of SSO for their Concur Premier user population, they must first implement a SAML 2.0 or a SAML 1.1 Single Sign On solution.

Companies faced with this challenge should look for a proven, easy to use product solution that supports both SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 out of the box, with no coding required.  By doing so, clients’ implementations will benefit in many ways, including reduced project implementation cost, faster implementation times, and reduced risk.
