Considering their existing investments in the Microsoft SaaS cloud with Office 365, a logical extension was to deploy the Enterprise Mobility Suite which would provide a high level of security and protection for their data, along with comprehensive device and application management capabilities. To complement and enhance the EMS solution, we leveraged Azure AD along with an on-premises deployment of System Center Configuration Manager to provide functionality including asset inventory, application deployment, patch management and automated OS deployment.

One of the common issues being faced by the customer was frequent helpdesk calls for password reset, which we took care of with Azure AD based self-service password reset functionality. With password write back configured, we ensured that the cloud passwords were synchronized with their on-premises AD, thereby enabling users to maintain a single set of credentials both for on-premises and public cloud workloads. With Azure AD RMS, they could securely encrypt all email communication and documents with persistent protection that traveled with the document. Advanced features such as the ability to revoke or change permission levels on the document, along with detailed tracking functionality ensured that critical documents were always secured and audited.
