Summary

This article discusses the challenges faced by smaller B2B solution providers in implementing SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) for enterprise clients, particularly due to the extensive time and resources required to create custom integrations with various identity providers (IdPs). Larger companies often have the resources to manage these integrations, leaving smaller competitors at a disadvantage. To address this issue, Ory (formerly BoxyHQ) offers a solution that simplifies the process through a single integration, connecting providers to all necessary IdPs, thus making enterprise readiness more accessible. Ory's open-source and free approach not only reduces the time needed for deployment to as little as eight days but also alleviates financial burdens associated with maintenance, offering custom support during integration to ensure a smooth transition.
