How Okta Supercharges Microsoft Stack

In today’s digital age, the new perimeter is no longer the network but the end-user. Cloud-based apps are standard and legacy technologies must work within modern cloud solutions. 

Customers going through IT modernization need a new way to ensure access across legacy systems and cloud applications. 

Okta is the only IAM solution that provides organisations with complete, end-to-end identity management and single sign-on across users, devices and applications, as well as cloud services.

Okta’s identity cloud supports a wide range of applications, including those for Microsoft and other on-premises technologies. 

What is  a Microsoft Stack?

The Microsoft Stack includes Microsoft products such as Windows Server, Exchange Server, SharePoint, Skype for Business, and other related software. It also includes many third-party solutions that are built on top of these core components and offer additional functionality for business users.

The Microsoft Stack is deployed in a variety of environments including private clouds, on-premises servers, hybrid environments where some applications are hosted on premises while others could be hosted in the cloud. 

A key advantage of the Microsoft Stack is that it provides a consistent experience whether an organisation deploys its infrastructure and applications in the cloud or on premises.

When it comes to enterprise applications, Microsoft Stack has traditionally been a best fit for organisations given its robust integration capabilities with other software.

How does Okta supercharge Microsoft Stack?

• Okta complements Microsoft Stack by providing identity management services over cloud applications and devices ensuring availability to users whenever they are ready to access them. 
  

• Organisations can use Okta to provide a unified identity to every employee, customer, and partner in the organisation. This is irrespective of whether they are using on-premise or cloud applications.
  

• Okta offers Single Sign On (SSO) capability to create a frictionless login experience across all applications, while maintaining the highest level of security. 
  

• Enterprises can also deploy Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), which enables granular policies to control access based on risk levels.
  

• Okta shortens Office 365 deployment time, supports both web and native Office 365 apps, and offers unique automation and user experience improvements that save on long-term operational costs.
  

Conclusion:

If your organisation is moving or is on Microsoft stack, it’s time to consider an advanced on-cloud identity management solution. Okta makes identity management faster and easier, allowing you to fully embrace the cloud while also modernising legacy systems and applications.
