The benefits
At its heart, Keystone is about removing complexity, reducing effort, and enabling access at scale. Everything else is built from that.
Increase renewals
Keystone delivers seamless access through single sign-on, direct web access and frictionless login journeys, without proxies, VPNs or shared credentials. This improved user experience drives higher usage, stronger perceived value and greater renewal opportunities.
Expand market reach
Keystone helps content and service providers reach institutions across federations and markets while supporting different authentication preferences. Keystone is a route to new markets, a way to reduce procurement friction and a credibility signal for libraries.
Lower cost and operational risk
Keystone helps reduce both direct and indirect costs by removing the need for specialist skills, self-hosted SAML infrastructure and ongoing support overheads. This means fewer security vulnerabilities and less exposure to protocol or federation changes.
