How many passwords do I have to remember?
March 2009
Oracle single sign-on (SSO) is a session / user authentication process that permits a user to enter one name and password in order to access multiple applications. The process authenticates the user for all the applications they have been given rights to and eliminates further prompts when they switch applications during a particular session.
Basically, SSO saves an organisation time and money by significantly reducing the costs associated with managing user logon authentication across multiple applications. Say, for example, your organisation has separate user names and passwords for your Windows logon, email browser, Oracle Self Service, Document Library, and Oracle Discoverer Reports. Across the organisation, 500 people need access to these systems every day. Each person takes on average a couple of minutes to login to each application.
500 Employees
5 Applications
2 minutes logon per application
That's a total of 10 minutes of logging per employee, which costs 5000 minutes across the organisation per day, and 417 hours per week. If we estimate the average conservative wage of £10 per hour for the 500 employees, your organisation saves over £215,000 alone in logon time by implementing Oracle SSO.
When you start looking across a week, month, quarter, or year...you can quickly see the time and money saved for the organisation. The above example doesn't even include the number of hours SSO saves your IT help desk by using one directory to set up passwords across all your applications through a SSO portal.
Whether you have a 100 employees or 10,000 employees, iTrain is here to implement your SSO service. Let us improve the productivity and convenience for employee end users and your IT Help Desk staff by reducing the frustration and time costs due to forgotten usernames and passwords. In addition, your organisation will increase security and compliance at all areas of entry and exit for applications by ensuring the right people have access to the right applications, and provide a measurable return on your investment.
