EducationCity.com steps ahead with Single Sign-On for EMBC

EducationCity.com is proud to announce it has become the first ICT resource to provide LAs in the embc* region Single Sign-On access via Shibboleth.

This ground-breaking initiative means that 2,200 schools will now be able to access EducationCity.com directly via the embc portal without logging in separately, and gain in terms of security, speed of use and ease of management.

Highlighting its expertise and technological capabilities to schools and LA Advisory teams, the project provides evidence that EducationCity.com is at the forefront of curriculum content and the industry.

Matt Drakard, Director of EducationCity.com, explained: “We are delighted to be the first company to have successfully integrated with the embc portal, and be able to deliver fantastic access benefits to our schools.”

“For us, Single Sign-On via Shibboleth is the way forward and we can see many more schools, LAs and Broadband Consortia developing in this way in the future. EducationCity.com has professional technology experts who clearly understand what is needed and how to implement it. We are already working with other organisations to develop this technology for them.”
