About Bitium

Bitium helps companies increase security, efficiency, and control by managing corporate cloud Apps in one place, while allowing employees to work faster and smarter. Bitium’s application and identity management platform helps organizations protect their apps and data by extending single sign-on, so their users don’t have to remember multiple passwords. Bitium is designed for organizations that want to leverage all the flexibility and productivity cloud apps deliver without compromising security.

Employee Flexibility Employees want the freedom and ability to choose the apps they need without the IT red tape. Bitium comes with a self-service app catalog that comes pre-integrated with 3,000 apps. Bitium can custom integrate any SaaS tools your organization needs.

Reduce IT Costs IT designates significant amounts of resources to customizing and managing app integrations. Bitium alleviates this burden through its seamless directory integration and app catalog - enterprise apps are pre-configured and most are pre-integrated for SAML. Additionally, the use of cloud applications reduces IT costs by eliminating the need for bulky on-premise applications. Seamless Directory Integration In the BYOA era, even active directory needs a wingman. Bitium allows you to seamlessly extend your Active Directory, or any other directory, to the cloud. If you use multiple directories and access points for your employees, connect them to their applications using Bitium and have one unified cloud directory.
