In other words...
You just need 1 username and 1 password to access all of your business apps wherever they are.

So Does it Help to Have Single Sign-On?
Yes it does.
We find that our clients here in South Florida that use more cloud apps and are cloud-savvy want and need SSO.
Clients that are more traditional in their approach to technology will likely never find the need.
Still, it’s a really cool technology with a lot of benefits for those South Florida businesses that are heavy cloud computer users and are looking to pull together all of the different cloud apps and services that they use.
