Consolidate fragmented SSO into a single identity platform.

Legacy authentication services and disjointed identity providers create fragmented security posture and operational overhead. Whether you are running ADFS, Okta, PingOne, SailPoint, or a mix of providers, we consolidate your application authentication into Microsoft Entra ID, systematically and without service disruption.

The case for migration

Why consolidate your SSO identity providers.

Fragmented identity providers are one of the most common sources of technical debt in enterprise environments. Whether it is ADFS, Okta, PingOne, SailPoint, or a combination of providers, each one adds operational overhead, licensing cost, and security blind spots.

Multiple identity providers mean inconsistent authentication policies, duplicated user directories, and gaps in your security posture. Applications sitting outside your primary identity platform cannot benefit from Conditional Access, identity protection signals, or centralised governance.

Consolidating into Microsoft Entra ID brings every application under a single identity policy framework. Conditional Access policies apply consistently. Sign-in risk is evaluated in real time. And the operational burden of maintaining multiple identity platforms disappears.

Scope

What we migrate.

Applications from legacy identity and authentication providers, consolidated into Microsoft Entra ID.

Identity Provider Consolidation

Consolidate multiple identity and authentication providers into Entra ID enterprise app registrations. Migrate federation trusts and claims rules to a single platform.

Legacy IdP migration

Migrate from Okta, Ping Identity, OneLogin, and SiteMinder to Microsoft Entra ID. Application by application, with full testing before cutover.

SAML to OIDC conversion

Modernise applications from SAML to OpenID Connect where technically feasible. Assessed on a per-application basis during discovery.

B2B application federation

Configure external partner application access via Microsoft Entra ID B2B cross-tenant access policies.

Claims mapping and transformation

Configure custom claims, role assignments, and attribute mapping for applications with complex token requirements.

SaaS application provisioning

Configure Entra ID gallery applications with automated SCIM 2.0 provisioning and deprovisioning.

Self-service application onboarding

Enable application owners to onboard their own applications to Entra ID through a governed, repeatable process. Reduce the bottleneck on your identity team while maintaining security standards and consistent SSO configuration.

Start your migration
Where we start

Application discovery first

Most organisations do not have a complete inventory of their federated applications. Legacy identity environments accumulate federation trusts over years, and many have no owner or documentation.

We start every application migration engagement with a discovery phase. This identifies and classifies every federated application before migration begins, prevents surprises during cutover, flags applications with no owner that need remediation, and produces a prioritised migration backlog.

The discovery phase also surfaces applications that cannot be migrated using standard approaches, such as custom applications with hard dependencies on provider-specific behaviour. These can then be planned for separately.

Planning SSO application migration
Where migrations stall

Technical challenges we address.

Application federation migrations fail when teams underestimate the complexity in claims rules, federation trusts, and undocumented application dependencies.

Application discovery

Most organisations do not have a complete inventory of applications across their identity providers. We audit federation trusts, identify undocumented dependencies, and build a complete migration register.

Claims rule translation

Complex claims rules and token configurations from legacy providers must be rebuilt as Entra ID claims mapping policies or application-specific token configurations. Each rule set requires analysis and testing.

Multi-party federation

Federated trust relationships with partners, customers, and other organisations must be migrated or restructured using Entra ID B2B or cross-tenant access policies.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about migrating your applications to Microsoft Entra ID.

No. We prioritise applications and migrate in waves, starting with lower-risk applications to validate the approach before moving to critical systems.
Custom applications with SAML or OIDC support can be migrated. Applications using Kerberos constrained delegation or NTLM may require additional work. We assess each application during the discovery phase.
No. Your existing identity provider remains in operation throughout the migration and is only decommissioned once every application has been migrated and validated.
Depends on the number of applications, identity providers, and their complexity. A focused migration covering 20 to 30 applications typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. Larger environments with multiple providers take longer.
Once your applications are consolidated into Entra ID, we can help you establish end-to-end governance of your workload identities, including service principals, managed identities, and agentic AI agent blueprints. Our application governance dashboards give you continuous visibility into legacy protocols, highly privileged workload identities, and expiring credentials.
Yes. Our SSO migration engagements are scoped and priced upfront based on the number of applications, providers, and complexity identified during discovery. You know the cost before we start, and there are no surprises.
Yes. Once your applications are consolidated into Entra ID, we help you establish enterprise-grade governance of your workload identities, including service principals, managed identities, and agentic AI agent blueprints. Dashboards give you continuous visibility into legacy protocols, highly privileged workload identities, and expiring credentials.
Yes. Consolidating into a single identity platform gives you enterprise-grade reporting and monitoring across all your applications. Sign-in activity, MFA adoption, Conditional Access effectiveness, and identity risk signals are all visible from a single pane of glass. We can also deploy our identity observability platform, Apporetum, for continuous monitoring and alerting.
We don't like to reinvent the wheel. If we have existing IP that covers your requirements, we will use it and the price will reflect that. We would rather spend time tailoring a proven approach to your environment than building the same document from scratch.
