Applied Systems Partners
with ID Federation
Applied Systems is SignOn Once-certified and will roll out single sign-on technology across its product portfolio throughout the year ahead.
Applied and ID Federation will provide information for Applied users when development and implementation are finalized. Meanwhile, users should urge their carriers to join ID Federation and implement SignOn Once, the insurance industry's only secure, cost-effective and efficient solution to reduce login and password issues.
As part of Applied's single sign-on initiative, the company will enable its customers to sign on once across its entire product portfolio, reducing time spent managing multiple credentials while increasing security. To manage the changing security landscape and cyber security threats, Applied's single sign-on initiative will also support multi-factor authentication (MFA), enabling Applied customers to configure MFA to meet growing regulatory requirements and further protect customer data.
"Differing password requirements place an undue burden on users to keep track of multiple passwords across systems," said Michael Howe, senior vice president of Product Management, Applied Systems. "Additionally, the changing security landscape and expanding cyber security threats continue to put agencies and brokerages -- plus their insureds -- at risk.
"Applied is committed to being the insurance industry's trusted technology provider by supporting the SignOn Once initiative and by collaborating with third-party software providers, like Okta, to deliver best-in-class security and connectivity to drive a connected experience for our clients," Howe said.
Late last year, Vertafore became certified for SignOn Once. Some Vertafore users are already benefiting from the technology, thanks to carriers who were early adopters.
For agents and carriers to achieve password relief, it's essential that carriers and solution providers adopt SignOn Once. Agents, let your carriers know you want SignOn Once. Carriers, find out how you can give agents what they want by emailing:
