TriCipher Acquires Sxip User Manager, Powering User Integration Between Salesforce.com and Google Apps

The AppExchange-certified solution, which will be re-named myOneLogin User Manager, is the only way Salesforce.com administrators can centrally enable and disable user access to both Salesforce.com and Google Apps from within the Salesforce.com application.

"Companies are quick to adopt on-demand business applications that enhance productivity and enable anytime, anywhere access," said John De Santis, CEO of TriCipher. "We're now helping Salesforce.com and Google Apps provide even greater value to thousands of companies -- by reducing the administrative burden of provisioning and de-provisioning, and saving money by ensuring the right number of licenses."

This acquisition further strengthens TriCipher's leadership position in the growing identity-as-a-service market. Already offering myOneLogin (http://www.myonelogin.com/), the first on-demand strong authentication single sign-on (SSO) service, TriCipher now gives enterprises the ability to manage identity licenses between multiple on-demand applications through the Sxip User Manager.

"Timely user provisioning is an essential component for SaaS applications like Salesforce.com," said Mark Diodati, senior identity and privacy analyst at Burton Group. "Without it, the business is hampered because employees can't access crucial information, and security threats increase because terminated employees continue to have access."

"The Sxip User Manager simplifies the administrator's job," said Dick Hardt, founder and CEO of Sxip Identity. "When combined with TriCipher's strong authentication, customers get the advantages of SaaS with the convenience of a single place to manage user access to two critical business applications."

When the 41,000 Salesforce.com administrators log into their accounts, they'll see "Discover Google Apps" on the homepage -- where they'll have new access to Sxip User Manager to centrally manage user provisioning and de-provisioning for both Salesforce.com and Google Apps. This single-click provisioning will result in one username and password that employees will use to access both applications -- making it easy for users to remember login information, and eliminating unnecessary password resets.

The offering gives organizations new ability to control and simplify access to Salesforce.com and Google Apps, rapidly integrating new users and terminating access, when needed. The convenience extends to new employees -- who will have fast access to both applications, enabling Salesforce.com users to easily send e-mail via Gmail through Salesforce.com.

"Enterprise companies have been clamoring for tighter integration between Salesforce.com and other business-critical applications for a long time," said David Korba, COO for SalesLogistix, a leading integrator for Salesforce.com. "This is a strong step in the right direction -- building the bridge between CRM and collaboration tools."

TriCipher's Sxip User Manager is available immediately and is compatible with all four editions offered by Salesforce.com: Unlimited, Enterprise, Professional and Group. For more information, please visit: http://www.myonelogin.com/user_manager.html.
