WorkOS provides an API platform that helps software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies easily integrate important enterprise features into their products. The platform includes tools for User Management, Single Sign-On (SSO), Directory Sync (SCIM), and Audit Logs, allowing companies to quickly become enterprise-ready. This means that instead of taking months to add these features, SaaS businesses can do it in just minutes, which helps them secure larger enterprise contracts. What sets WorkOS apart from its competitors is its unified approach and developer-friendly design, making it simple for engineers to implement these functionalities without getting bogged down in foundational work. The goal of WorkOS is to enable SaaS companies to scale their offerings and improve their market position by providing a seamless integration experience.
