Reasons for Adopting Enterprise Single Sign-On

The decision to implement enterprise SSO stemmed from a significant demand from various sectors, including enterprises and government organizations, that were eager to leverage Cal.com's capabilities. Clients were increasingly seeking the convenience and security offered by SSO to streamline user access across multiple systems and services.

Selecting BoxyHQ (Jackson) for Single Sign-On Integration

Cal.com's dedication to open source led them to choose BoxyHQ (Jackson) for their SSO implementation. The commitment to open source aligned perfectly with Cal.com's ethos of providing customers with the freedom to choose and ensuring they weren't locked into proprietary solutions.
