Today, at Oktane18, we’re pleased to announce a new partnership between Workplace and Okta that makes the connection between Workplace and an on-premises directory like Active Directory seamless. IT admins can easily provision and deprovision users from Workplace, enabling them to grant and revoke access to sensitive company communications (even if that means leveraging existing processes in AD). This helps ensure the appropriate level of access for users. Today, the world’s most successful companies are utilizing cloud applications, platforms, and infrastructure to streamline their processes and reduce costs. While most organizations are on their journey to the cloud, many enterprises are not completely replacing their legacy infrastructure. In order to take advantage of the cloud, these companies need a way to bridge their core, on-premises systems (such as Microsoft’s Active Directory) to modern applications. After all, 95 percent of the Fortune 1000 use AD to manage employee authentication and access.
