SSO Easy's EasyConnect SAML solutions eliminates the time, cost, complexity and risk of SAML implementations.
A major university based in Louisiana recently selected, implemented, and successfully went live with EasyConnect, the SAML 2.0 based Single Sign On (SSO) software product from SSO Easy.
The solution was enabled to provide Google Apps Single Sign On for the entire population of the university’s Google Apps for Education user base.
The deployment, which was rolled out to approximately 8,000 users, was successfully completed in less than 1 day.
After spending a great deal of time trying to code their own SAML 2.0 custom solution, without success, they chose to implement EasyConnect, the SAML 2.0 product solution provided by SSO Easy.
Using EasyConnect, the education client was able to successfully implement the required SAML 2.0 Single Sign On solution. The solution was implemented on time and on budget.
Many organizations throughout the world have implemented Google Apps. Analysts’ estimates indicate that countless more will deploy Google Apps in the coming years.
Two of the main goals associated with the deployment of Google Apps are:
Personal productivity and collaboration benefits can only be achieved if the Google Apps platform is easy to use, secure, and readily accessible. Single Sign On capability is needed in order to provide such seamless access and use of Google Apps.
Google requires the SAML 2.0 protocol in order for organizations to provide support for SSO to Google Apps.
For many organizations, the process of enabling support for SAML 2.0 based Single Sign On capability and access to Google Apps has resulted in a difficult, painful and costly effort.
In order for users, organizations, and the marketplace to realize the key intended benefits of Google Apps, the implementation of SAML 2.0 based SSO to Google Apps must become a fast, easy, low cost process for all organizations.
