Managing user passwords involves unnecessary cost, risk, and lost productivity for most organizations. Yet many IT departments have given up hope of achieving single sign-on due to its complexity and perceived cost.
SSO doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming, especially if your network includes a Windows domain along with applications running on IBM i (AS/400).
Single Sign On Managed Services eliminates up to 80 percent of your password management costs within 24 hours – using technology you already own—with positive ROI typically achieved in four to twelve months. This is the value of single sign on at its best.
Quick Results, Faster ROI
Unlike most IT projects, the positive impact of SSO is immediately evident across the enterprise upon implementation. End users no longer have to log in to applications they use every day, the number of help desk calls drops, and password-related distractions decline. The best part is that most organizations achieve positive ROI within four to twelve months, and the savings continue year after year.
Guided by an SSO expert, your technical staff can bypass the upfront learning curve for SSO:
- Reduce password-related distractions across the enterprise
- Relieve your help desk from the majority of its current password burden
- Eliminate the SSO learning curve for IT
- Ensure ongoing SSO success with responsive, expert support
- Achieve positive ROI within 4–12 months
Eliminate Password Problems
For most organizations, the majority of password problems occur when users attempt to log on to services from their PCs. The Single Sign On Managed Service quickly eliminates password inefficiencies between Windows and your IBM i systems. Depending on your IT environment and applications, this cost effective service can eliminate up to 80 percent or more of your password management costs.

No New Software Required
f your IT network includes a Windows domain, you may already be using and managing the software you need to implement SSO for many of your systems and applications.
