Simplified Administration
With integrated provisioning and SSO, enrollment and administration is easy for users and administrators. . New user accounts are automatically created, as well as initial passwords for each application. . IT generates one username and password for the user to logon to his computer . First time users are auto-enrolled to single sign-on and able to gain access to all applications. . Ongoing change management for users and accounts is completely automated. . User provisioning with automated bulk password change for all accounts auto-enrolls existing users.
The cost of password-related problems increases as the IT environment becomes more complex, the number of applications in use increases, and the number of users increase. An integrated provisioning/SSO solution that has the ability to replace multiple passwords and application logon events with a single, centrally-managed user logon reduces these existing costs in several ways, primarily by boosting user productivity and reducing the number of costly, forgotten password-related help desk calls.
