Ease the move to Azure AD cloud directory for companies & organizations with many distributed identity sources (AD domains & forests, LDAP, SQL & APIs). The growth of domains and forests from normal operations (and even more in the case of M&As) has left many companies with complex thickets of identity that are difficult to maintain or evolve. Just consolidating multiple domains and forests represents many issues such as rationalizing duplicate accounts and group names, dealing with different levels of trust between forests, and creating a global view of identity to sync with Azure AD.

Sometimes, "internal ADs" are only one part of the identity infrastructure, which can include legacy LDAP directories, or identities and attributes/groups information in SQL or APIs. Companies need a layer that can abstract, rationalize and consolidate all their sources of identity—before shipping part or all of this "image" to Azure AD.

RadiantOne FID, our federated identity and directory service, supports this AD consolidation effort, providing one or more identity hub and connectors ("spokes") that simplify cloud access and provisioning, as well as enabling faster application onboarding and simpler operations integrations and M&A. RadiantOne-enabled enterprises can:

• Get the right list of identities and groups needed by Office 365 and other apps, no matter where they’re hosted.
• Authenticate users to the correct authoritative store and authorize access using attributes drawn from the AD infrastructure and beyond.
• Feed ADFS (or any other "Identity Provider") exactly the information it needs to authenticate and authorize AD users across domains and forests and in the cloud.
• Quickly provision and sync identity to SaaS apps using a common reference image.

RadiantOne FID makes it easy for companies to unify identity from across their entire infrastructure, providing the different identity "views" required by IdP(s) and applications, along with keeping them in sync.
