Practical examples of modern identity management with Entra ID

Seamless single sign-on in hybrid environments

An international company reduced login problems by 40% by introducing seamless SSO – employees now access local and cloud apps with a single login.

Automated provisioning for new employees

By linking the HR system and Entra ID, user accounts are automatically created and assigned the correct permissions – eliminating manual processes.

Secure cloud access with conditional access

A financial services provider increased security by controlling access based on location and risk – MFA is only used where necessary.

Integration of Intune for modern device management

A manufacturing company centrally manages Windows and mobile devices via Intune. Compliance policies are automatically applied, standardising IT security.

Reducing shadow IT through centralised governance

A group of companies was able to drastically reduce unauthorised SaaS usage through uniform identity policies – all applications now run via Entra ID.

Increased helpdesk efficiency through self-service

The introduction of self-service password reset reduced the number of helpdesk tickets by more than 25% – end users resolve password issues independently.
