Unsurpassed Web 2.0 solutions can be built by combining best-of-breed applications rather than relying on a single suite of applications.

Current standards support single sign on, document and data transmission, and rich application interoperability. OpenSAM's purpose is to establish uniform ways of using the current standards.

OpenSAM (Open Simple Application Mashups) is a set of recommendations and techniques for integrating SaaS applications into incredibly powerful and flexible solutions. 

OpenSAM is run by a consortium of leading Web 2.0 application vendors and integrators.

OpenSAM is open to everyone. OpenSAM is the only initiative designed to connect all platforms, suites, and applications, rather than a chosen few.

OpenSAM specifies how to do the following using well established standards:

  • Application discovery, provisioning, branding and identification
  • Application launch, including workflow context and meta-data passed via defined CGI parameters
  • Centralized document storage, read/write, browsing, and meta-data semantics

 

Single Sign On

OpenSAM SSO modules and test drive.

File Browser

OpenSAM file browsing modules and test drive.

Build Launch Link

Build a perfectly formatted OpenSAM Launch Link. Launch various OpenSAM applications with all their context and meta-data capabilities.

Application Description Files

Build, test and parse an OpenSAM Application Description File (ADF). This file is a centralized repository of information about your application.

OpenSAM Badges

Put these "connects to all" badges on your Web site.
