As a tech company, there are no people in charge of IT. They solely rely on SaaS applications to run their business. The\u00a0<strong>amount of internal applications the company is using has grown<\/strong>\u00a0over the years so that managing accounts and passwords became\u00a0<strong>overly complex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users were managed separately in each application, and each of these applications required a different username and password. This\u00a0<strong>required a lot of management, time and effort<\/strong>\u00a0from the company\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why Teamleader\u00a0<strong>chose to implement Okta as a solution a couple of years ago, to serve as an SSO within the company. However, the experience of logging in with Okta wasn\u2019t perfect.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teamleader was looking for an alternative solution which would\u00a0<strong>make user management even easier and the user experience even better<\/strong>\u00a0for everyone working at the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since many customers are looking for an SSO solution and Google has a very strong authentication mechanism, Google started to invest a lot in&nbsp;<strong>Google Cloud Identity (GCI)<\/strong>. A free version of&nbsp;<strong>GCI is part of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) and can serve as an SSO solution for most SaaS applications.<\/strong>&nbsp;The product can even take care of the (de-)provisioning of users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After analysing the use cases, Teamleader came to the conclusion that Google Cloud Identity covered all their use cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with Devoteam G Cloud as a partner,\u00a0<strong>we started a track where we configured all SaaS applications used by Teamleader on GCI and replaced the Okta implementation by this solution in less than 2 weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teamleader is now using GCI and it has&nbsp;<strong>heavily improved the user experience<\/strong>. End users can now&nbsp;<strong>simply login with their Google Account on all their business applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of GCI r<strong>educed an enormous amount of complexity of managing passwords and therefore reduces the overhead<\/strong>&nbsp;for all application owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, GCI is part of the G Suite subscription and therefore<strong>&nbsp;saves Teamleader a significant amount of money.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company was looking for an alternative solution which would make user management even easier &amp; the user experience even better.
