Cost management has never been so critical as it is today for all organizations.  The ability to manage expenses effectively requires a best-in-class Expense Management solution.

In order for the potential benefits of these systems to be realized, the Expense Management system must be secure, easy to use, and easily accessible by users.  Given the most leading Expense Management product solutions that exist on the market today are offered as OnDemand service offerings (or, Software as a Service  / SaaS), easy and secure access to these solutions represents a big challenge.

Web-based Single Sign On (SSO) product solutions provides the answer for this challenge.  SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 support must be provided as easy and effective enablers of this type of capability in order for the promise of Expense Management solutions to become a reality for those who implement them.

Cost containment is vital to all organizations today. 

Travel costs is one of the highest cost components for most companies.  Management of this key cost component is one of the essential needs of every company who is hoping to remain competitive.

Travel Management product systems are an essential part of any company’s strategy for containing travel costs.  In order for a company to truly benefit from a Travel Management solution, the system must be accessible, useable, and secure, among other attributes. 

Single Sign On, or SSO, function, is the key mechanism used by most companies who intend to make the promise of Travel Management, a reality for them.  SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 are the two required standard protocols for enabling this type of required Single Sign On function to Travel Management solutions.

SSO Easy now provides an out of the box product solution for Concur Premier clients who want to enable Single Sign On for their users who need to access Concur’s leading Travel and Expense Management solution.

EasyConnect, SSO Easy’s market leading SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 based Single Sign On (SSO) product, now provides template based support for those clients who wish to easily and effectively access Concur Premier using the SAML protocol.

This new capability dramatically reduces the time, cost, complexity, and risk associated with implementing this type of SAML SSO solution.

Prior to this new capability, implementations of this type frequently took weeks or months to complete.

Now, these implementations are completed in a matter of hours.

Travel and Expense Management is one of the most strategic areas of business operations today.  As more organizations are looking to do more with less, managing the bottom line through disciplined management of expenses has never been more vital.  Travel expenses represent a major line item in the overall cost analysis of most organizations.
