We are very excited to share the roll out of the following enterprise features:


System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM)

The System for Cross-domain Identity Management, SCIM, is an open standard protocol designed to securely automate the exchange of user identity information between your company's universal directory (such as Azure Active Directory or Okta) and any service providers, such as enterprise applications like Synergy.

With the SCIM protocol, user information is transferred automatically with different applications, complex exchanges are simplified, and the risk of error is minimized. SCIM also improves overall security for your company, ensuring security policy compliance across all accounts.


Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a user authentication solution that enables users' access to multiple applications using only one set of credentials. Single sign-on eliminates the inconvenience of having to manage multiple sets of log-ins and passwords. It streamlines the access to a range of platforms and apps without needing to log in individually.

Our Single Sign-On integration is built on federation protocols with OpenID Connect, an open and trusted authentication protocol. We have publicly launched our integration with the Microsoft Identity Platform and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to all customers. We also support Okta and other providers for enterprise accounts.


Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

In addition to the Multi-Factor Authentication methods provided by your identity provider (Azure AD, Okta), we have launched our own MFA functionality to bring more security to companies that do not have a centralized identity platform.

We also use our own MFA for external users in your company repository, to enforce security policies and compliance internally but also externally.


We are very pleased with the initial feedback provided by our clients and early adopters of these features. We look forward to sharing more regular updates on the things we are doing to provide the best security and compliance in the months to come.
