Efficiently manage all services for your employees with SAML SSO
Centralize services for your organization with C2 Identity
The era of multi-platform collaboration
In the modern workplace, the adoption of multiple web applications for their diverse services and features is the new norm. You might be using Trello for project management, Slack for communicating cross-department, and Figma and Google Workspace for collaboration on different tasks.
All of these applications certainly make it easier for you and your team to collaborate and can improve the overall quality of your work life. However, many services also mean many usernames and passwords. Having to use our own special and unique passwords for each service oftentimes means trading security for convenience (creating easy-to-remember passwords that aren’t secure) or vice versa (creating secure passwords that are hard to remember).
Your biggest IT management headache
Having to handle so many accounts puts extra pressure on your IT department admins. For one thing, implementing password rules or two-factor authentication at a mass scale can be tricky. Plus, each user’s permissions and authorities will have to be managed separately on each web platform, which can easily lead to account mismanagement. Not to mention that accounts must still be handled and tracked even after an employee leaves the organization.
On top of that, poor credential management oftentimes results in a terrible experience for employees. Having to remember their login information for each site leads to using insecure methods to keep track of them, such as putting them on a sticky note or in a Word file. Such methods are insecure and can only end in disaster.
Overall, not only is it a huge task for IT staff to maintain a mass number of login accounts, but users also suffer as a result. With all of these apps we need to use for work, is there any solution to our sign-in woes?
This is where C2 Identity comes in handy!
One identity for all
C2 Identity is a cloud-based identity solution that helps your employees or users easily connect with the tools they need, all while protecting access to company resources. C2 Identity simplifies the sign-in experience with single-sign-on (SSO) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), allowing your employees to sign in to different web applications both on the cloud or on-premises using just one single “identity”.
All you need to do is add an application to C2 Identity to start utilizing these great features.
Add pre-integrated web applications
C2 Identity allows IT to integrate applications with ease and efficiency. You’ll see just how easy it is.
Let’s say everyone in your office uses Google Workspace for collaboration. All you have to do is go to the C2 Identity portal and add the application.
Then, you just need to configure some settings. For Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, you can enable user provisioning, which ensures that users are automatically created, given proper permissions, edited, or deleted in the respective app. For example, new hires, promotions, departmental transfers, and departures can all trigger automatic user provisioning from C2 Identity to other apps.
Just like that, your apps are added and can be centrally managed!
Add custom web applications
Having the option for integrated apps is certainly convenient, but not all organizations use the same services. In fact, most businesses select specific programs that best fit their organizational needs and workflows. That’s why C2 Identity also provides an option to add custom SAML applications. This way, you still get all the benefits of SSO no matter what application you use.
Once you’ve configured some settings, you’re ready to start getting the best out of C2 Identity’s SSO features!
