Guest Account Management Made Easy
Businesses, universities and global research companies need to engage customers and users outside their company (former employees, alumni, consultants). These users need access to online communities and resources but don't have or qualify for an enterprise identity.
You might already have an account service that allows these external logins, but most likely these external customers had to create a new user name and password. This is a major opportunity for them to disengage. We all know that frustration of creating yet another online identity. Ugh.
