Imagine you have a key that unlocks all the doors in your house. You don’t need a different key for each door; just one master key. That’s basically what SSO (Single Sign-On) is.
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a technology that allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. This eliminates the need for users to remember and manage separate usernames and passwords for each application. Instead, they can log in once and gain access to all authorized applications.
In the space of enterprise software, SSO is a system that lets you use one set of login information (like a username and password) to access multiple systems. So, instead of remembering different passwords for each of our symplr Products, our customers can just use their own credentials within their own network and therefore they do not need a username and password specific to symplr.
When a user tries to log in to our application(s) that use SSO, it sends them to a central login page typically within the users own network. They enter their SSO credentials there. If they’re correct, they will be granted access to all the connected symplr products without having to log in again, enabling the “One symplr” model.
SSO is a valuable tool organizations such as ours, that need to improve security, enhance user experience, and reduce costs. By implementing SSO, we can protect sensitive data, improve productivity, and comply with industry regulations.
