Sprint is offering cloud-based single sign-on powered by Ping Identity for its enterprise customers that are using Google Apps for business. The new service is targeted to tap on the growing mobile collaboration market where 37.2 percent of the workforce is expected to be mobile by 2015, according to market research firm IDC. 

As a key value-added offer, Ping Identity will deliver cloud-based single sign-on capabilities that allow users to sign on to all of their business apps with just one username and password while meeting access and security requirements from the IT department.

Sprint's offer of Google Apps for Work includes a range of deployment and support services, called Carefree Cloud which allows all employees to use the solution. Carefree Cloud includes consultation, deployment, mobile device configuration, and 24/7 support for administrators and end users. It also includes online user training to make it easier to implement and use Google Apps for Work.

As more and more companies with distributed workforces move to cloud environments, identity becomes a huge issue for large enterprises managing tens of thousands of employees, applications and devices around the world. In today’s post-password era, we’re excited to work with Sprint to help these companies realize the value of simple secure access via single sign-on to cloud-based business applications like Google Apps for Work, while meeting security standards with an identity-based approach.

We welcome all businesses, whether they are using Sprint wireless services or not, to rely on us for Google Apps for Work to help them remove obstacles and encourage their employees to work better together. Businesses also can benefit and more easily embrace the cloud by combining Google Apps for Work with innovative pricing options like Sprint Business Share and Sprint Business Fusion plans, plus the value-added services we offer like single sign-on, elearning and 24/7 end-user support.
