Overt Software - Single Sign On (SSO) & VLE Experts

We’re very excited by the prospect of bringing Single Sign On between Shibboleth and Azure authenticated resources such as Office 365 to the University of Dundee. Our users will benefit from one unified familiar Sign in Experience wherever they go first which is a far better experience. This will simplify access to all kinds of resources in one stroke. Our pilot group think it’s fantastic, we’ve had nothing but great feedback. It’s been a great experience working with Overt in setting this up.

Very intuitive process to install and configure the plugin. The SP -> IDP relationship in SAML is obviously well understood by the team behind ezpz-sp who are very attentive and alert to support requests. We have had a very good experience installing and configuring the plugin and are very happy with the results. Thoroughly recommended!!

I do consider Overt one of our best contracting decisions both for the service and the reliability of the service. The reliability of the international VLE has been a corner stone in our ability to expand abroad. Really appreciated.
