Oxford Computer Group (OCG), a MajorKey Technologies company, has architected and deployed solutions for some of the largest Microsoft Entra ID Governance projects to date, including several healthcare organizations.
OCG leverages HorizonID, a powerful extension platform developed via our deep identity governance advisory and deployment experience, to remove migration blockers and deliver cost-effective and robust solutions for customers.
Microsoft’s Identity Global Black Belt team called on OCG, as an expert in migrating identities to Microsoft Entra, to help a large healthcare organization migrate their identity services from SailPoint to Microsoft Entra ID Governance.
The Challenge
The healthcare organization’s goal was to fully leverage their Microsoft 365 E5 and new Microsoft Entra ID Governance licenses to enable a lower cost and streamlined model for software while replicating or enhancing their existing functionality. Initial workloads included MFA, Single Sign-On, and Account Lifecycle Management.
The Solution
After collecting technical and business requirements and completing planning, OCG tested the migration procedures for moving Account Lifecycle Management capabilities from SailPoint to Microsoft Entra ID Governance. After identifying key applications and building necessary connectors, OCG managed the testing process, deployed the solution, and provided go live support.
Some of the benefits the healthcare organization realized included:
- Lower software and infrastructure costs by eliminating SailPoint
- Streamlined and more secure processes for onboarding and removing employees enabled by Microsoft Entra ID Governance Lifecycle Workflows
- An easier-to-use platform that is decreasing their administrative overhead, as Microsoft Entra ID Governance requires less customization and programming than SailPoint
Key Takeaways
A Microsoft continues to release new capabilities, Microsoft Entra ID Governance provides an opportunity to streamline identity management processes, improve security, and reduce IT infrastructure costs. HorizonID adds to these benefits by solving identity challenges like legacy integrations, complex workflows, and conflicting data - removing roadblocks and simplifying migrations.
Instead of relying on fragmented point solutions, organizations can use a unified, cloud-native solution that integrates seamlessly with leading EHR systems. Consolidation strengthens environments against cyber threats while streamlining user onboarding and offboarding processes.
