Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

1. What is the core difference between Overt Software’s SSO and LMS/VLE product lines?

Overt Software offers solutions for two distinct, yet interconnected, needs: 

  • SSO Products: Our Single Sign-On (SSO) products focus on access management and security. They allow your users (students, staff, employees) to use one set of credentials to access all of your applications, improving security, reducing password fatigue, and simplifying IT administration. 

  • VLE/LMS Products: Our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and Learning Management System (LMS) products focus on digital content delivery and education. They provide the platform for creating, managing, and delivering courses, tracking student progress, and facilitating online collaboration. 

In short: SSO secures and simplifies the login; VLE/LMS manages the learning content. Our products are designed to integrate seamlessly with each other. 

2. Which identity providers and platforms do your Single Sign-On (SSO) products integrate with (e.g., Azure, Shibboleth, SAML)?

Our SSO products are built on industry-standard protocols to ensure maximum compatibility with your existing infrastructure. We offer robust support for major identity providers and protocols, including: 

  • SAML 2.0: The primary standard for secure cross-domain SSO. 

  • Shibboleth: Full support and expertise, especially vital for the education and research sectors. 

  • Microsoft Azure/Active Directory (AD): Seamless integration with enterprise directories. 

  • OpenID Connect (OIDC): A modern authentication layer built on OAuth 2.0. 

  • CAS (Central Authentication Service): Integration for legacy systems. 

If your identity provider uses any of the above standards, integration is typically straightforward. 

3. What is the estimated timeline and process for implementing a new SSO or VLE solution?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the product and your existing IT environment, but a typical implementation follows a 3-phase process and generally takes 4 to 12 weeks from contract signing: 

  1. Discovery & Planning (1-2 weeks): We hold initial consultation meetings to map your infrastructure, define user groups, and agree on customization requirements. 

  1. Deployment & Integration (3-8 weeks): Our technical team installs the software, integrates it with your existing identity providers and applications, and performs rigorous testing. 

  1. Training & Go-Live (1-2 weeks): We provide comprehensive training for your IT administrators and end-users before the official launch. Dedicated support is provided through the initial go-live phase. 

4. How is your pricing structured, and do you offer different tiers for education or corporate customers?

Our pricing is based on a flexible subscription model designed to align with your organisation's scale and needs. 

  • Structure: Pricing is typically based on the number of unique users (seats) or Total Enrolments within your system. 

  • Tiers: Yes, we offer distinct pricing tiers for: 

  • Education/Non-Profit: Special discounted rates that acknowledge the unique budget constraints of universities, colleges, and schools. 

  • Corporate: Scalable packages designed for large enterprises and small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs). 

We encourage you to contact our sales team for a personalized quote based on your exact user count and required features. 

5. What level of technical support and maintenance is included with a product subscription?

All product subscriptions include a comprehensive support package to ensure maximum uptime and service reliability. 

  • Standard Support: Access to our dedicated Support Portal, email, and phone assistance during standard business hours (e.g., Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM GMT). 

  • Premium Support (Optional Upgrade): For mission-critical environments, we offer a Premium tier that includes 24/7/365 emergency technical support and guaranteed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for critical response times. 

  • Maintenance: All updates, patches, and major version upgrades are included in your annual subscription fee. 

6. Can your VLE/LMS solutions be customised to meet specific institutional or organisational learning needs?

Absolutely. Customisation is a key strength of our VLE/LMS offering. 

We understand that every institution or organization has unique pedagogical approaches and branding requirements. Our solutions can be customized in the following areas: 

  • Branding & User Interface (UI): Aligning the platform's look and feel with your corporate or institutional brand guidelines. 

  • Feature Modules: Tailoring course structures, assessment tools, and reporting features to meet specific learning objectives. 

  • System Integration: Creating custom connectors to integrate with student information systems (SIS), HR platforms, or other specialized tools.
