This greatly improves the convenience and security of staff in charge of operating e-learning systems and learners in employee education and school education.

Background of this collaboration

At the same time, the need to manage different login IDs and passwords for each service has become an issue, reducing convenience for users and increasing the management burden on administrators.

In addition, the penetration of telework and hybrid learning has increased security risks related to authentication and access control.

Against this background, "ID Entrance" provided by Canon ITS is highly evaluated as an IDaaS (Identity as a Service) that can centrally manage ID management, single sign-on, access control, etc. in the cloud, and already has a proven track record of integration with many cloud services.
