Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)

These days, every organisation uses cloud applications. Just think about e-mail, saving and sharing documents, making backups and requesting holidays in the HR system. The great advantage of cloud services is that these online applications are always available to everyone from any location. They make maintenance of on-premise servers and applications obsolete. That’s convenient but also worrying for the IT department. Because if you don’t control the cloud services, you can lose sight of what exactly is happening with company data. In order to secure company data, you must have a central Identity & Access Management system. But implementing this for every separate cloud application is expensive and time-consuming. At QS solutions, we do this more effectively: with Microsoft Entra ID, the cloud version of the well-known Active Directory.

Microsoft Entra ID is actually an extension of your infrastructure in the cloud and works as a universal identity platform to manage and secure identities. You retain existing on-premise investments and maintain control in the future from the dynamic cloud. Microsoft Entra ID also makes it easy for end-users because they gain access to all integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-applications, like Microsoft Office and SalesForce with one Single Sign-On. Because Microsoft Entra ID is a Cloud Identity Service, new functionality is being made available continually.
