Symplified SinglePoint™ for Google Apps & App Engine

You have just completed a successful pilot of Google Apps and now you are planning a larger roll-out. You need to secure and manage user access, single sign-on (SSO), authentication, and auditing. You also want to deploy a collaboration portal to link Google Apps up with other apps like SharePoint and work with your existing IAM systems like Active Directory. But you don’t want to deal with a lengthy custom development effort requiring deep security and integration expertise nor spend a million dollars on legacy IAM software from Oracle, IBM, CA or RSA. Sound familiar?

Finally, you have an alternative that’s simple, affordable and deploys quickly without the complexity of on-premises software. SinglePoint for Google leverages your existing identity management infrastructures to seamlessly protect Google Apps assets including calendar, mail, documents, sites, and more without the management of additional, redundant user accounts. For apps built on the App Engine, Symplified manages access control, authentication, auditing and SSO with other apps and sites. Symplified’s pre-integrated Trust Fabric™ approach has simplified identity and access management for Google Apps customers.

Complete Trust Integration Between Your Enterprise & Google

Symplified SinglePoint delivers a secure link between end users and Google Apps and the Google App Engine, providing secure SSO, granular access controls, identity integration, automated provisioning and policy enforcement. Google Apps helps companies focus on their business instead of software deployments for their business activities. Symplified removes the security and trust integration headaches between the network and the Cloud; enabling companies to utilize existing security infrastructure by extending secure access and controls to Google Apps and the App Engine.

Unify The Cloud

SAML SSO Doesn’t Address Access Control & Isn’t Ubiquitous

Enterprises that have considered implementing federated SSO with SAML have found that it delivers convenience to their end users, but does not provide essential security with access control, strong authentication, auditing or a virtual directory. Companies still need a way to manage IAM policy across multiple applications instead of just a point-solution for SSO.

Since SAML is only supported by 5% of SaaS apps today, users expect a SSO solution to work with all the apps they use; thus driving the need for Universal Sign-On for both SAML and beyond.

First Generation IAM Does Not Work For The Cloud

IAM 1.0 systems from CA, Oracle, RSA or IBM and other on-premises software products don't support Cloud apps like Google Apps or Google App Engine. Companies are looking for ways to extend enterprise policies to the Cloud. However, to extend IAM 1.0 to the Cloud with products such as SiteMinder requires the specialized trust bridge capability from Symplified, since IAM 1.0 architectures (built in the 1990’s) were not designed for the Cloud.

The 4 “A’s” of Cloud Security

Unified Portals Enable Seamless Collaboration Across The Cloud & The Enterprise

Your users collaborate using multiple applications in addition to Google Apps. Bringing Google Apps together with SharePoint, Jive, Box.net, wikis and other social networking sites once required complex, million-dollar integration projects spanning several quarters to plan, budget, build, and deploy. With Symplified for Google you can roll out a secure collaboration portal, unifying apps on both sides of the firewall, with less time and cost. These “quick wins” improve productivity without increasing business risk.
