TAM E-SSO relieves password headaches with a proven single sign-on solution across all network access points. The complexity and number of logons employees must manage on a daily basis are increasing, resulting in frustration and lost productivity. In most organizations, employees must remember between 5 and 30 passwords and are required to change them every 30 days. The time wasted entering, changing, writing down, forgetting and resetting passwords represents a significant loss in productivity and a significant cost of IT help-desk operations. With IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On—the market-leading enterprise single sign-on solution—employees authenticate once, and the software then detects and automates all password-related events for the employee, including:

Logon.
Password selection.
Password change.
Password reset.
Logoff.
