• Enhanced security during sign-in
• Utilization of IdP’s multi-factor authentication and reduction of potential for attack
• Reduced password fatigue – users don’t need to remember an excessive number of passwords
• Single sign-on experience, supporting market-leading IdPs:
– Azure AD
– ADFS
– Okta
– SAP’s identity authentication service (beta)
• Central user management across companies and optimal license allocation
• Solid integration with extensions
• Enhanced sign-in user experience
