MAY’S FEATURE OF THE MONTH:
SINGLE SIGN ON FOR SMART CHOICE
When there’s work to be done, it’s normal for one person to act as a whole team. Some of today’s workplace skills can be used for roles across different departments— which can create a long list of different responsibilities.
The good news is, there’s a ton of sites and applications that can help manage pages, communicate through chat and voice, and see just how a business is doing. The bad news is, it can be hard to manage all the usernames and passwords needed for each account.
That’s where Single Sign On comes in.
Smart Choice’s Single Sign On feature lets you and your employees instantly log in to a custom group of web or platform accounts, all by using a single username and password set.
Instead of making you manage different credentials (or increase account vulnerability by using the same password for multiple logins), SSO uses one unique credential set to get you into the website and service accounts you connect to your SSO ID. While traditional password-save technology can log you in to individual accounts, Single Sign On logs you in across all your services through a secure system that gives you peace of mind and works to safeguard your information and materials.
SSO also helps you get right to work. When you’re forced to manually sign in to account after account without the use of SSO, you use up time that could be spent on business– especially if your logins require jumbled passwords made up of letters, numbers, and punctuation. Our convenient Single Sign On solution makes for quick and easy authentication, and keeps you away from the password-reset process or This is Your Life-esque security questions. Whether you need to manage content, post to a bevy of social accounts, communicate through voice services or text-based systems, or check your analytics, SSO capacities get you under way with the click of a button.
Even if you’re on the go, Single Sign On is an essential tool for your mobile device. By entering SSO credentials on a smartphone or tablet, you gain access to easy-to-use applications and mobile-only platforms. This means you and your team can use the SSO tool to stay connected and productive, especially when away from the office or working remotely.
It can take a village to run a business. Sometimes, those villagers are actually just all the different accounts one employee needs to fit their different roles.
Single Sign On helps easily manage those accounts, to help easily manage your business.
Single Sign On
Challenge:
A new animal rescue NPO has a big workload, and a much smaller staff. On a daily basis, their Communications manager works to contact members of the press, post information and media to the NPO’s website and social accounts, and create and distribute marketing materials. This means she has to access to a number of email, social, content management, and distribution accounts. Logging in to each site or platform can create a lot of frustration, especially since it takes time away from work. The Communications Manager is looking for a faster way to gain entry to her long list of accounts, so that she can focus on getting support for the NPO, and help for the animals.
Solution
SmartChoice set the organization up with their Single Sign On solution. The SSO technology lets a user securely log into multiple website and application accounts at once using one set of username and password credentials. With one simple log in, the Communications manager is now able to respond to internal and external messages, post adoption features, and stay in touch with the public through social accounts. As she’s frequently on-the-go, she can use this technology on her mobile device and tablet to stay connected and productive. The Single Sign On feature gets the NPO employees immediate access to the site accounts they need, so they can focus on rescue efforts, and look towards potential adoptions.
