Over the past couple of years Azure Active Directory and Office 365 have been quietly and steadily gaining ground within our businesses. While many administrators have been busy managing their environments, the level of effort involved in their daily…

Organizations are sprinting to Office 365. In fact, users will have to convert by Oct. 13, 2020 as support for Office 2020 ceases that day. By then, many organizations will be 100-percent cloud, but most are so heavily invested in legacy infrastructure…

The cloud isn’t coming — it’s here. And the quicker we all get on board, the better off we’ll be, right?!

An old myth accepted as fact: Active Directory is something between a huge burden or a neat toy, but it isn't up to the job for meeting my big directory and identity needs.
