Configuration of IP authentication will move from EBSCOadmin to EBSCO Experience Manager. Administrators will benefit from self-supported IP configuration in a modern and intuitive UI.
We are excited to introduce "Company Discovery Pages," a new feature in BSI designed to enhance your business research experience. This feature will provide comprehensive Company Discovery Pages for several thousand companies, consolidating various materials and artifacts into a single, intuitive view. Each page will include a Company Smart Panel which will include details such as headquarters, CEO, ticker number, employee count, and more when data is available. Additionally, researchers will see top competitors, industry reports, SWOT analyses, case studies, articles, videos, and more!
For those who previously used the Company Information portal in Classic BSI, the new Company Discovery Pages will serve as its enhanced successor, offering the same detailed company information with additional intuitive features. Please note that only the Company Smart Panel will be available in EBSCOhost.
Library administrators will be able to configure and use their institution's SAML Single Sign-On (such as OpenAthens, MS Entra, or Shibboleth) for access to EBSCO Experience Manager. This work will allow for more secure, standard authentication and role-based access control for EEM, an interface where product configuration is increasingly homed. Administrators can easily connect to their SAML Identity Provider using the setup wizard, and granularly manage permissions for administrative access.
The new interlibrary loan (ILL) form is designed to seamlessly integrate with EBSCO’s New UI. This form has several enhanced features:

3. EBSCO SSO Integration: Automatic population of user information with EBSCO Single Sign-On.
4. Multilingual Support: Access the form in all languages supported by EBSCO.
When configured by their administrator, users can use their institutional email address to obtain a one-time code to access EBSCO resources. This new authentication method is primarily intended for institutions without a remote authentication method, such as a proxy or single sign-on
Users can search FMO in additional languages, including several languages that use non-Latin characters
Many users who reach the EBSCO log in page attempt to log in by entering their institutional email address in the username field. With this enhancement, if the email domain has been configured as a trusted email domain for the institution, the user will be asked if they'd like to access EBSCO through their institution's preferred authentication method
The login pages used for patterned ID and patron ID authentication have been updated to reflect the design of the new EBSCO login page. With this update, the page now displays the institution name and logo, increasing user confidence
The login page for MyEBSCO personal user accounts has been refreshed with a new design that complements the redesigned EBSCO login page
Administrators can configure multiple versions of their institution name in different languages, including several languages that use non-Latin characters
