About Lifesize
Logitech, which bought video conferencing vendor Lifesize Communications in 2009 at a time when companies were looking to the technology as a way of saving money, is spinning out the business, though it will keep a hand in it.Logitech officials in late December announced that Lifesize was being spun out and had raised $17.5 million from several new investors—Redpoint Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures and Meritech Capital Partners. Logitech will retain a 37.5 percent share in the company, which will run as a private entity. It will now be known as Lifesize Inc.There were few details about Lifesize’s future plans coming from officials of either Lifesize or Logitech, though Lifesize CEO Craig Malloy said the company has “big plans moving forward” that officials will share in the coming weeks.“We’re committed to delivering the most dynamic cloud-based video collaboration and meeting platform to the market, and to accelerating our exceptional growth into 2016 and beyond,” Malloy wrote in a brief post on the company blog, adding that spinning out the company “is the culmination of many months of hard work.”In a statement, Logitech officials said the move will enable Logitech to continue its efforts to become a simpler and more nimble company and to focus more on its retail business. In addition, it will allow Lifesize to grow faster as a cloud-based provider of video conferencing services, and that the company will benefit from the experience in the video conferencing space of the three new investors.The relationship between Logitech and Lifesize over

SAML 2.0 is an XML-based protocol that uses security tokens containing assertions to pass information about a principal (usually an end user) between a SAML authority, named an Identity Provider, and a SAML consumer, named a Service Provider. SAML 2.0 enables web-based authentication and authorization scenarios including cross-domain single sign-on (SSO), which helps reduce the administrative overhead of distributing multiple authentication tokens to the user. By using SAML 2.0, organizations can be more competitive in their market, by moving faster than competitors. Organizations who leverage SAML 2.0 can be less prone to be hacked, to experience a security breach, or experience or a data breach, by leveraging SAML 2.0.About SSO EasySSO Easy is the world leader in cloud based Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions.
