Simple installation and ease-of-use provides enterprise IT departments with the ability to centrally manage data access and provision and de-provision end-users. With Sxip Access, single sign-on and delegated authentication are simple and scalable, lowering help desk costs and exceeding industry standards for privacy and security.

"With this release, Sxip Access extends its unique security capabilities to all web services that access salesforce.com. This enables customers to use the most efficient means of accessing Salesforce without having to expose their corporate passwords over the Internet," said Dick Hardt, founder & CEO, Sxip Identity. "The most popular productivity tools can now be securely leveraged with the leading on-demand CRM system."
