New tool integrates with enterprise directories to enhance security
and usability for IT and end-users

BRIDGEWATER, NJ - Nov. 16, 2009 - LTech (www.ltech.com), a leader in enterprise cloud computing products and services, today introduced LTech Single Sign-On for Google Apps, its latest cloud enablement product for the Google Apps platform. LTech Single Sign-On for Google Apps enables small-, mid-size or large organizations to leverage their existing ActiveDirectory™ or LDAP-based directory investment to secure the cloud-based Google Apps collaboration platform. The product supports password changes, rules and synchronization to enable IT administrators to ensure end-user continuity and security.

"LTech Single Sign On for Google Apps met all of our requirements, including change password capabilities, at a price that really makes sense," says Manu Jaggi, director of IT for the Wentworth Group of Companies.

LTech Single Sign-On for Google Apps can be deployed on-premise within the corporate firewall or on LTech's hosted platform. The product allows end-users to use their existing credentials to access Google Apps from browser, mobile device or third-party mail clients like GMail™, iPhone™ and Microsoft Outlook™. This reduces the inconvenience of updating multiple passwords for end-users, and allows IT administrators to enforce password strength and change management policies. Features of LTech Single Sign-On for Google Apps include:

•    Mobile and Third-Party Client Support - Supports IMAP and POP access and synchronization with mobile devices and third-party messaging clients.
•    Enterprise Ready - Encryption, high-availability configurations and secure LDAPS and SAML support.
•    Sign In, Sign Out and Change Password pages - Customizable templates are provided for seamless integration.
•    Password Management - Passwords are updated in both Google Apps and the enterprise directory, with full support for advance password policy settings.
•    Wizard-based Installer - Easy-to-use installer available. Compatible with Windows 2003 and 2008 Servers.
•    Supports Integrated Postini and OpenID - Supports Google Apps Postini™ and OpenID features to extend security investment to multiple third-party applications.

"LTech Single Sign-On for Google Apps provides unique features for the Google Apps platform," said Ed Laczynski, founder and CTO for LTech. "Our customers enjoy our password management features that eliminate the need to support multiple credentials between their on-premise and cloud applications. With the growth of Google Apps in the enterprise, we see a growing need for cloud enablement products like this to empower IT and end-users."
