Is Your Active Directory Cloud-Ready?

Active Directory Challenges in a SaaS World Active Directory (AD) is the heart of your Windows network, providing a centralized location for administration, security, and other core management functions. It's battle-tested, secure, and your IT staff is comfortable with it. Active Directory is a powerful platform, but with the proliferation of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, there are new user management challenges that are burdening IT departments and hindering employee productivity. User Management Challenges with SaaS Apps:

1. They run outside the firewall, beyond the reach of Active Directory, which means IT can’t centrally manage them.

2. Include their own native user directory, which means users have to remember separate login credentials, in addition to their windows network password.

3. Unique SaaS user directories means IT has to create and manage accounts in Active Directory, multiple SaaS apps, and is challenged with mapping AD users to the corresponding accounts in SaaS applications.

4. Custom AD integrations with SaaS apps means more time and resources spent on creating, maintaining, and testing an integration that doesn’t offer a complete end-to-end solution.

Figure 1: AD integrations to multiple cloud applications means complex and incomplete coverage and requires dedicated staff and monetary resources.
