OVERVIEW
Authentication technologies have come a long way from IP recognition and EZ Proxy but most services have not addressed the poor user experience associated with off-campus access, particularly on mobile and tablet devices. In 2017 the conversation around streamlining remote access has moved on from talk to real solutions.
In this webinar Josh Howlett of Jisc will update us on the RA21 initiative, while Phil Leahy will explore why organisations are moving to managed identity management solutions and how OpenAthens has responded to publisher feedback with its new OpenAthens Cloud product.
Date: Tuesday 28 November 2017
Time: 1400 GMT
Duration: 45-60 minutes including Q&A
