Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On 2wk Pilot Implementation

This Microsoft Entra ID SSO Pilot implementation will be beneficial for companies looking to leverage their Microsoft licenses more fully. This Pilot can also be used to demonstrate like-for-like replacement of the SSO capabilities of third-party identity solutions, which can help organizations decrease license costs and accelerate cloud application integrations.

Process: The Microsoft Entra ID SSO Pilot will demonstrate the functionality of Microsoft Entra ID and can be conducted in a “sandbox” test environment or production tenant. The customer will select up to 5 applications from the Azure Gallery that will be used during the Pilot. The selected applications can also be configured in a “sandbox” environment. Applications that support multiple identity providers can be in production.
