Most Google Apps users also use a mobile device of some kind, and want to have seamless integration and support between their Google Apps implementation and their cell phone.
In an effort to foster user adoption and collaboration, more and more organizations that are implementing Google Apps are also providing Single Sign On capability for their users.
Google requires the use of the SAML 2.0 specification and protocol in order to implement support for SSO to Google Apps.
Increasingly, users and organizations that intend to yield the desired benefits of Google Apps need to provide integrated support for SAML 2.0 based Single Sign on to Google Apps, with integrated SSO capability for users’ mobile / cell phone devices.
