HONOLULU--PHASE 2 International (phase2int.com) announced today that it is making available a new ‘Zero Sign-In’ option to make SaaS application access and availability even easier and more seamless. Available now to all PHASE 2 International clients, the Zero Sign-In option signs users in to all of their hosted applications automatically upon power-up of their computers.
Easily set at the sign-on screen, users who want Zero Sign-In simply click boxes for ‘Auto Log In’ and ‘Run at Startup’ to ensure that their login is automatic any time their computer is powered-up. Clients still have the option to require employees to sign-on each time they use an application, or to use the company’s Single Sign-On, which requires that users sign-on at the start of each work day and after any four hours of inactivity.
“Zero Sign-In makes using our hosted applications feel even more like using local software,” said Kevin Doherty, PHASE 2’s CEO. “Our client environments are diverse, and we are committed to ensuring that using our hosted applications is as easy, seamless and efficient as possible, while working within each company’s policies.”
Zero Sign-In makes all of a subscriber’s PHASE 2 hosted applications, including the Web-based Office Communicator instant messaging tool, available immediately—and all day—without daily log-in. PHASE 2’s SaaS application solutions include its ShareCAD Pro®, a powerful centralized platform based on Microsoft SharePoint for contractors, architects and manufacturers; and a host of other applications that it provides to customers on a central server-based ‘pay as you go’ basis. Offering use of Microsoft’s SharePoint, Exchange, Project Server, CRM, Office Communicator and Team Foundation Server, as well as PHASE 2's own ShareMeeting and award-winning ShareCAD Pro, the low total cost of ownership incorporated in PHASE 2’s SaaS (Software as a Service) model allows customers to benefit from a broader range of products than they could otherwise consider.
PHASE 2’s SharePartner program lets resellers provide the company’s ‘pay as you go’ application access to customers for whom outright purchase and in-house hosting may not otherwise be economically feasible or practical. Resellers that participate in SharePartner benefit from co-marketing, training and support for the generous suite of affordable solutions they can offer to their clients through PHASE 2.
