About the Partnership:

As AppCentri continues to grow, the company’s next step was to integrate with ClassLink for single sign-on. But with no in-house development team, AppCentri turned to ClassLink for recommendations and ClassLink introduced AppCentri to Edlink.

At the beginning of the relationship, AppCentri recognized the ability to swap 1 SSO integration to ClassLink for 1 integration to Edlink’s Unified API. With this change, AppCentri would have the ability to SSO with several educational data providers (like LMSs, SISs, and IDMs) rather than just ClassLink alone. AppCentri knew this swap would help them scale more quickly while saving money on development costs.

When asked what was the core reason which made the decision, AppCentri responded:  

The ability to work with multiple SSOs from different schools was the deciding factor.
