Single Sign-On
Most companies have more than one application requiring user authentication, such as eCommerce sites, self-service portals, content sites on multiple platforms and mobile applications such as iPhone apps. Advantage Single Sign-On allows a user to sign in one time to gain access to all of them. It’s a flexible, cloud-based SaaS solution that centralizes all access control systems with an administration portal that allows you to easily integrate your own applications.
Users will be happy because they only need to remember one user name and one password. Plus, SSO provides enhanced security, and easier maintenance by your technical staff.
For more details, read the SSO whitepaper.
Here’s what clients are saying about their AdvantageCS experience…
“I have known and partnered with the staff of AdvantageCS since 2015, when we began laying the groundwork that led to the 2017 launch of a new business operating software system and deployment of their Cider web platform for eCommerce. They are people of integrity and deliver what they say they will deliver, and do it at--and at times, under—budget. They invested significantly in an ONIX integration project that has enabled us to have gold star data feeds to major accounts, and the strong subscription management capabilities of Advantage have enabled us to significantly grow our direct-to-consumer sales.”
I like how information stays if I have to move from subscriptions, for example, to something else---it's great not to have to look up the customer information again. And I like the flow of the tables; they flow from one to the next very well.
(To the team upon going live on the final wave of their multi-phase migration to Advantage) “It was a wonderful launch. I would like to express our gratitude to you for the fantastic (double) launch of Advantage and the data warehouse at Mediahuis Nederland. Projects of this size and complexity are rare. But it was a great ride. Your commitment serves as an example to others. People often worked late into the night. There were teams in Portugal, America, Belgium and the Netherlands. Many bumps, and sometimes mountains, had to be overcome, and all this at a distance due to COVID-19 measures. But you all succeeded. From now on it all really starts with Advantage!”
"Bayard has found with AdvantageCS a reliable long-term partner---something that was considered risky by many other French publishers when it was selected 15+ years ago, being the first in the French and continental market."
“Our business is built on Advantage---it is the heart of all our transactions. I have always had great experiences with ACS staff, and Advantage continues to get better and better.” (Comment explaining his reasons for giving ACS staff and services an “Excellent" rating.)
I have worked with other vendors implementing systems who didn't seem to care about the job or the quality of their work. I have learned that the most important thing about any vendor is their people. In my 17+ years of using Advantage and working with AdvantageCS, I am still impressed with the dedication and integrity of the people there. The quality of their work is important to them and I can trust them to work with me until I am fully satisfied.
“With Advantage, ACS offers a customer relationship management solution that excels in managing subscriptions, mail order, and digital access. From my perspective, it has no equivalent in France and Europe. Another plus is the active user group of 50+ global clients who add enhancements to the software and with whom we can network.”
"We have a fabulous relationship with ACS. They give us a chance to contribute and shape the product, which is unique in the vendor world."
Advantage supports large parts of our business and we can almost always find a way to use it to do what we want to do. Through our user experience, and in talking to other Advantage clients, I am amazed by the multitude of ways that different people use different system modules and components.
"Your staff are people who act with integrity. From veteran employees to the more recent hires, I’m very pleased with AdvantageCS as an organization.”
“We are extremely pleased to now have Advantage running in three countries---Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Having Advantage as the single subscription system provides the efficiencies, cost reductions, and superior capabilities we need to move forward. The people at AdvantageCS are real professionals.”
My favorite thing is the reporting. I like the flexibility and the fact that I can modify my own stuff.
My favorite thing is AdvantageCS as a company; there are so many dedicated people.
I love all the different ways I can do promotions. Advantage offers so many possibilities!
I have so many favorite things but I guess the top one would have to be the AdvantageCS staff. I've been working with them for quite a few years and everyone has always been friendly and helpful.
My favorite thing is the support of BPA audit requirements. I don't have to worry about it; it's always there and it works.
"The system works smoothly and in accordance with our expectations."
My favorite thing is the help section---it's great! And also, the tremendous flexibility of the system.
