Mavenlink Now Listed on OneLogin

Mavenlink.com users can now use OneLogin's single sign-on feature to share, store their passwords securely in the Cloud.  



Onelogin is "Single sign-on the easy way". Onelogin works with all major browsers including, Firefox, Chrome, and IE and also works on all platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux. This web application saves time, enhances security, and integrates with your business. It also enables secure shared logins across your entire enterprise.
They are integrated with everyone: (Below are just a few)

• Google Apps
• Salesforce
• Twitter
• Zendesk
• Typepad
• Facebook
• Yammer
• Freshbooks
• GotoMeeting
• Quickbooks
• GetSatisfaction
•  

Thomas Pedersen from onelogin says in a blog post:

Most people think of single sign-on as something large enterprises need for security. And it certainly has been so in the past, but with offerings like OneLogin, single sign-on is accessible to anyone. I recently heard someone at a small software start-up say:

   "we don't have a large enough team to make a single sign-on program worthwhile" says Thomas Pedersen

That has been the conventional thinking in the past. But the cloud changes everything. People work remotely, teams are more autonomous and it's easy and risk-free to sign up for new apps that help you get your work done. Our customers often use in the range of 15-25 different apps and software development shops even more. 

For the smaller business the incentive for using single sign-on is not the size of the organization, but the complexity of their software landscape. At the last count, we used 24 different apps and we know already that we'll be adding 3 or 4 more soon. The ability for us to quickly access applications saves us valuable time.

Mavenlink is changing the way professional services are delivered, providing technology, services, and a new community dedicated to helping consultants and their clients work more effectively.

MSNBC: More Women Juggling Multiple Jobs Than Men

According to

 

MSNBC, women are more likely to juggle multiple gigs than men, with some 3.7 million adult women working more than one job. The reason? Women often aren't interested in working a traditional 40-50 hour week due to childcare needs, also, they make less dollar for dollar than men and often have similar budgets. This forces them to take on multiple jobs.

“Many more women than at any time in our history are either the primary or sole breadwinner in their families,” said Eileen Appelbaum, a professor and co-director for the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University.

“The persistent pay gap between men and women and the greater incidence of part-time work for women means that women are more likely to need more than one job just to make ends meet for their families,” she said.

But this trend isn't just among women who are strapped for cash, it's also white-collar types who are looking to create a career they can't find through a traditional employment situation. At Mavenlink, we've watched as a growing group of female professionals from lawyers to graphic designers have pulled their business online. In order to be competitive, a resource like Mavenlink is essential for managing all the relationships that a self-employed consultant has to juggle at once
