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. 

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.

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.

Virtually all of the cost of SAML 2.0 or SAML 1.1 Single Sign On projects are labor-based. 

Costs often are unplanned and grow to become excessive on SAML projects, because companies typically underestimate the scope and complexity of a SAML implementation project.

Buying the right Enterprise SAML Software Product will help to eliminate excess labor costs, and will result in SAML projects that are consistently delivered on time and on budget.

The portion of the overall project cost that is associated with licensing of an Enterprise Software Product for SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 deployment projects is a minor cost component associated with these Single Sign On projects.

…I built the first 90% myself, but I realized I was never going to figure out the last 10%…” 

One of our clients shared with us recently shared this representative project challenge, after he had tried building his own SAML solution, using ADFS 2.0. 

After working on that SAML solution for some time, he approached us and said: 

“…I got through the first 90% pretty easily.  It was that last 90% that was going to kill me…”

He recently became an SSO Easy client, and went into production in less than 1 week following our initial discussion together.

Like many of customers, this client realized that the best way to address a key project challenge associated with implementing a strategic Single Sign On project is to implement an enterprise SAML product that supports all SAML 2.0 and SAML 1.1 use cases.
