## Implementation

### Duration

It is crucial to supply all necessary integration details as soon as possible to provide the best possible service and the fastest implementation time. The document section “Checklist” lists all the required information ProcessMaker needs to ensure a quick implementation and go-live.

The typical variation time varies by installed solutions (TCE for Prospects and TCE for Applicants), the integration method (with or without Banner Ethos and the availability of a database abstraction layer), the deployment type (On-premises and SaaS Cloud), and the optional SSO setup. 

The initial setup and rollout can be as quick as 14 days. However, most implementations range from 1 to 2 months, with some slightly exceeding that based on the availability of the customer resources and ability to collaborate timely.

<summary>Optional Components</summary>

Single Sign-On (SSO) in ProcessMaker allows users to log in through a centralized identity provider rather than maintaining separate credentials for ProcessMaker itself. This streamlines access to ProcessMaker’s workflow and process management features while enhancing security and user convenience.&#x20;

ProcessMaker supports integrations with various SSO providers—including Microsoft (Azure AD), Google, Okta, and other SAML-compatible services—using widely adopted protocols like OAuth and SAML. With these integrations, organizations can unify authentication management and leverage existing identity infrastructures without disrupting users’ login experiences.
