Single Sign-On for STORIS NextGen Enhances Security and Streamlines Access

Furniture World News Desk on 12/10/2024

STORIS releases Single Sign-On (SSO) for simplified access to its STORIS NextGen platform, enhancing security and operational efficiency for home furnishings retailers. This new capability, integrated with Azure Entra ID, allows retail sales teams to seamlessly log in using their Windows credentials, delivering a frictionless user experience while bolstering enterprise-level security.

Retailers know time is money—particularly when onboarding and managing large sales teams across multiple locations. According to Microsoft, with SSO, teams can use just one set of credentials to conveniently access all their apps, simplifying access to SaaS solutions. Single Sign-On eliminates the need for employees to remember multiple usernames and passwords. This unified authentication system ensures swift and secure access to the STORIS NextGen platform. With SSO, sales associates can focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences instead of navigating login hurdles. Additionally, the burden of password administration is lifted for IT managers.

“Single Sign-On introduces an unprecedented level of convenience for our retail partners,” said Mark Braun, Product

Manager of STORIS NextGen. “By enabling SSO, we’re removing unnecessary friction in day-to-day operations.”

Launching Single Sign-On is not just about convenience; it’s a proactive measure to safeguard sensitive data and eliminate vulnerabilities. According to Microsoft, SSO enhances security by allowing IT leaders to implement robust access policies without overburdening employees. SSO lends itself to greater security by facilitating more complex passwords. It also eliminates an unsecured practice of manually entering the same password across applications, which puts password theft at the mercy of the least secure application. By centralizing authentication through Azure Entra ID, STORIS NextGen offers retailers greater control over who accesses their systems, significantly mitigating security risks. Retailers can integrate STORIS NextGen SSO with their internal authentication systems to enhance security further, utilizing biometric options such as Face ID or thumbprint scanning.

Moreover, SSO's flexibility means retailers can quickly scale operations. Whether managing new hires or seasonal workforce fluctuations, IT administrators can quickly provision and de-provision access, minimizing the potential for errors or unauthorized access.
