My company (call it ExampleCompany) would like other applications to be able to “Sign on with ExampleCompany,” in the same way that you can Sign On with Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, etc. Does Okta provide a solution for this? Thanks so much for your guidance 🙂

If not, any recommendations for going about this ^ ?

Not clear where is Okta in your question. Is ExampeCompany using Okta? If so, then “yes, it’s possible”, assuming that “other applications” will do some work on their side to integrate with Okta, like it’s required in all other cases as well (FB, Google, MS, Github…)
