OpenAthens and Knowledge E have announced a new strategic partnership that will bring single sign-on (SSO) access to essential academic and professional information resources to a wider range of organisations throughout the Middle East.
OpenAthens provides secure SAML-based access for both service providers, including major academic and professional publishers across the world, and identity providers such as healthcare systems, research organisations and universities, connecting end-users with the information they need.
This new partnership will allow more organisations to join peers such as the Ministry of Health, Sultanate of Oman, in providing industry-standard single sign-on access to thousands of medical practitioners, researchers and students across the region.
The team at OpenAthens develops and supports identity and access management software. Its mission is to remove barriers to knowledge and connect people to information. Over 2,000 organisations use the software, equating to a worldwide network of millions of end-users. The OpenAthens international customer base includes a large number of universities in the UK and beyond, medical and national health organizations, and major corporate research organisations.
