Single Sign-On
For greater simplicity and enhanced security.
When it comes to human resource information systems (HRIS), there are a lot of options out there for brokers to choose from. Two of the most important features for end users — your clients and their employees — are security and ease of use.
Remembering increasingly complex passwords for every system or website we use is one of the downsides and major frustrations in the modern world. Case in point, 40% of employees say having to remember multiple logins adversely affects their stress and mental health levels.
With single sign-on (SSO), problem solved.

Simplicity of Use
SSO synchronizes usernames, information, and passwords for easier and more efficient system access without compromising security. Employers and employees get to remember fewer usernames and associated passwords while IT departments get fewer complaints and requests from people to reset their passwords.
SSO grants access to multiple applications and services via one account’s login information. This helps employees alleviate stress and helps businesses avoid additional security risks, like when passwords are written on sticky notes because employees can’t remember 20 different logins to 20 different systems.
SSO also helps avoid repeated authentication each time a user is disconnected from a given service when multiple systems are being used. This simplifies the process for users because they only need to enter one set of credentials to maintain open sessions for all the applications that use SSO.
A common example of SSO can be found in Google. When you sign in to Gmail, you also sign to other Google apps like Google Maps, Google Books, and Google Docs.
