    With our seasonal staffing needs, our deployment of Azure AD Single Sign-On was a big win. It enabled us to reduce password resets and lockouts that plagued our HR and IT teams. The reduction in time spent and aggravation is immeasurable.

    There are two common scenarios we see with our clients concerning Digital Transformation. The first is the organization who is unfamiliar with the possibilities of the Cloud and needs guidance as to what is possible. The second scenario is an organization who has started to move a workload or two into Azure but have no formal plan only to find cost overruns. Both scenarios could benefit from our guidance to help create a transformation plan.

    The result was a scalable plan for expansion that can realize the intended ROI, decreased Help Desk hours for password resets from the Azure Identity and AD Single Sign On.  We also trained the IT audit staff to be equipped to understand and manage costs in the future. Getting costs under control for a more predictable, better managed Azure environment.
