EduTone Xchange Google Apps Edition

EduTone Xchange for Google Apps Marketplace Edition features a secure identity management system that automates role-based end-user account provisioning and enables single sign-on access across multiple third-party web-based applications from within the Google Apps for Education ecosystem.

In three short steps that take minutes, rather than hours, an organization can deploy an EduTone Connector for an application that takes advantage of Google Apps Organizational Units (OU’s) to create role-based access to the appropriate application while maintaining Google Apps for Education as the Launchpad for getting things done.
