Case Study: Google streamlines SSO integration with WorkOS

Google adds SSO in minutes with WorkOS

Google, a major enterprise customer, required a secure and streamlined Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for its users to access multiple applications without managing separate credentials. This was a prerequisite for enterprise procurement and a challenge for developers needing to support complex protocols like SAML and OIDC. To meet this need, Google utilized WorkOS to integrate enterprise-grade authentication.

WorkOS provided a solution by abstracting the complexities of the underlying SSO protocols. Using the WorkOS API, Google was able to quickly implement a system where users authenticate through their Google Workspace identity provider, which then sends a secure, signed token back to the application. This integration, which handles both SAML and OIDC, turned a potentially months-long development process into a matter of days, providing a secure and frictionless login experience for users.
