Identity and Messaging Services from Blue Connections IT

Identity

Our team of active directory experts manages and maintains the functionality of the active directory databases hosted in either the cloud or at your business’s primary location.

TRADITIONAL ACTIVE DIRECTORY ACTIVITIES THAT WE UNDERTAKE

  • Active Directory Deployment
  • Active Directory Migrations and Upgrades
  • Active Directory Consolidations and Restructures

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) simplifies the way you manage your applications by providing a single identity system for your cloud and on-premises apps. You can add your software as a service (SaaS) applications, on-premises applications, and line of business (LOB) apps to Azure AD. Then users sign in once to securely and seamlessly access these applications, along with Office 365 and other business applications from Microsoft. You can reduce administrative costs by automating user provisioning. You can also use multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access policies to provide secure application access.

We can provide Azure AD SSO using SAML authentication to third party apps.
