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 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.
"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.)
“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.
My favorite thing is the reporting. I like the flexibility and the fact that I can modify my own stuff.
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 help section---it's great! And also, the tremendous flexibility of the system.
