SinglePoint Federated Hub & Trust Broker SinglePoint’s Trust Fabric abstracts the complexity of managing different federation protocols and APIs. Enterprises no longer need to establish and maintain complex federation linkages because SinglePoint acts as a trust broker to establish and maintain federated connections, dramatically accelerating deployments. With SinglePoint, a single connection integrates the largest ecosystem of apps both SaaS and Web including Salesforce.com, Google, ADP, Workday, Taleo, Xactly and many others.
The trust broker approach to integration cuts the costs of federation by 80%. As a service provider you want to meet the federation needs of your customers and partners in the most efficient way; connecting many customers through a single management interface. As an IdP, even one with SAML in-place, you want to outsource non-differentiating integration and instead subscribe to federation dial-tone. You can create an iTunes-like consumption model; customers pay only for the connections they use, while they use it. You can get out of the identity management business.

Advantages of being cloud-native:
» Avoids cost of new integration – iTunes model
» Users are already using Internet; this saves » WAN and VPN costs

Scale out your federation initiative starting small with ability to go enterprise-wide and incorporate more federated services
SinglePoint has the widest range of unified federated services:
» SinglePoint ConnectExpress provides hosted SSO to 70+ SAML apps
» SinglePoint Federation Manager provides B2B solution for both SP and IdP use cases
» Cloud Access Manager provides access control and SinglePoint Universal Sign On™ for SSO to both SAML and 2,000+ non-SAML Web apps
Upgrading to new services only requires a subscription upgrade not a forklift upgrade
SinglePoint Federated Provisioning When it comes to managing provisioning and de-provisioning user accounts, the ability to manage accounts outside your network is crucial. As an identity provider there’s a challenge keeping user accounts synchronized with your service providers. Organizations have investments in place across people, processes, help desks, Active Directory and role management, but they lack a way to extend their internal accounts to third parties. What’s needed, both for first-time rollouts, as well as on-going administration, is a way to automate management to keep these identity silos in sync. SinglePoint Sync (a component of SinglePoint Federation Services) automates provisioning by propagating changes to behind-the-firewall systems like Active Directory with 3rd party sites and apps. With SinglePoint Federation Services you can also implement just-in-time provisioning and pass user identities from an IdP to SP through simple HTTP headers.
Symplified SinglePoint can be delivered over the Cloud and be up and running in days. SinglePoint’s Cloud Connectors allow for minimal integration effort and no custom code to build. The result is reduced deployment time at a lower cost. Google Apps and App Engine deployments can proceed without the usual delays associated with user provisioning and granting access privileges.
