SaaS and cloud applications

Challenge

How could vendors make it as easy for their business customers to get and manage access to their SaaS applications as it is with on-premise applications ? Challenges related to user management threathens to kill usage and user experience while increasing the administration costs.

Solution

Relying on customer's intranet authentication eliminates the need for user management in the SaaS application. Distal provides the easiest way to rely on that authentication to give end users automatic sign-on to the application and to automate creation and maintenance of user profiles in it.

Benefits

Improves customer experience:
users access the application from their intranets just as they would if the application was in-house. Intranet user administration will automatically cover outsourced applications as well.

Improves security:
user profiles are automatically kept up-to-date and partner employees have no passwords to share, forget or abuse.

Cuts administration costs:
no accounts and passwords have to be created, maintaned or reset.
