Columbia University Single Sign On: From Home-grown to Community
For almost ten years, Columbia University had been running a home-grown web single sign-on (webSSO) system called WIND, and integrating it with a variety of on-campus applications. When Columbia decided to adopt Google Apps they considered the effort required to extend WIND again, and decided it was time to consider a more standards-based approach. Columbia was attracted by the promise of less development, and faster deployment. They chose the Apereo Foundation Central Authentication Service (CAS), an open source WebSSO application that provides authentication for local and cloud-based applications.

The Juilliard School: Identity and Access Management with CAS
When the Juilliard School needed to securely connect its constituents to both local and cloud applications, it decided on open source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions as the answer. With open source IAM solutions, programmers can review and validate the code, and users can collaborate and know that the information they are sharing will be delivered correctly and securely, to the appropriate group(s). Based on this conclusion, the Juilliard School chose to adopt Apereo Central Authentication Service (CAS) as its IAM solution.

University of Dayton Extends LMS with Tsugi
In response to faculty demand, the University of Dayton was looking for a way to quickly develop and integrate niche tools to extend Sakai functionality. It turned to Tsugi. With the help of Tsugi, Dayton designs and develops tailor-made tools to the exact specifications of faculty members in a fraction of the time it took previously. Tsugi tools created so far have given faculty the ability use in-video quizzing, group feedback rubrics, photo sharing and commenting, and course learning journals. Tsugi has led to increased levels of faculty engagement and innovation at Dayton.
