Web SSO versus Enterprise SSO

We launched Crowd, a single sign-on and identity management solution, a few months ago. There tends to be a lot of confusion around the SSO marketplace.

BusinessWeek’s Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs: Atlassian’s Mike and Scott

Mike's response to that: when given an option between a focus on growth versus quality, the choice has always been about quality of engineering and service and support. Growth is of course key to any business' prosperity, but for Atlassian it has always
