SIMI VALLEY, Calif., February 26, 2009 – Rapattoni Corporation announced today that Goomzee Corporation, the text message marketing solution provider, has successfully completed their integration of the Single Sign-On (SSO) standard. With the SSO feature in place, MLS users can log on to the Rapattoni MLS system once and access Goomzee’s marketing and lead generation platform without requiring separate logons. Goomzee is the first mobile solutions provider to implement SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) with their system. SAML technology is the backbone upon which SSO is built.
SSO and SAML allow the establishment of “trust” relationships between the Rapattoni MLS site and other Web sites for the convenience of the users. Rapattoni’s SSO program is based on open standards and allows the user to avoid repeated logons. Once the user gains access to Goomzee’s SAML compliant remote site, they can move freely between the websites. Rapattoni has been leading the charge on this open standard for the real estate industry since early 2007.

Nick Rapattoni, president of Rapattoni Corporation, said, “We are committed to developing technology solutions that simplify the user experience. This achievement is another example of how Rapattoni continues to provide innovative solutions that set the standard in the real estate industry.”
Mike Sparr, CEO of Goomzee, said, “Goomzee takes great pride in developing enterprise-grade technology solutions that are easy to use and result in increased efficiency and opportunity for real estate professionals. Our integration with Rapattoni is a perfect example of how simple we make it for sales professionals to add the mobile channel into their traditional marketing and sales activities.”
