Let’s begin by defining single sign on and why it’s something worth knowing about. Single sign on simplifies the experience of moving between websites and apps by allowing an automatic login that uses one set of credentials. It may seem like a small thing, but it’s kind of a big deal when you don’t have to remember multiple passwords or look for that secret Post It note where you scribbled down your user Id.
BigTime supports single sign on with Google apps and Gmail. We believe that our users should be able to connect with us using the apps they already know and love. Why? It’s less disruptive. It’s a more seamless experience. And, quite simply, it’s just a more productive way to work.
Takeaways
