Case Study: ASOS enhances app security and streamlines user provisioning with Microsoft Azure Active Directory

ASOS enhances app security with automated user provisioning in Azure Active Directory

ASOS, the large UK online fashion retailer, faced major security and efficiency challenges managing access across a wide SaaS application landscape. Working with Microsoft Corporation and using Azure Active Directory, ASOS needed a better way to onboard employees quickly and securely while avoiding the risks and overhead of manual account provisioning and deprovisioning.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Azure Active Directory as an automated identity-management layer connecting Workday to apps like Office 365, Slack, ServiceNow, and others. The result was faster onboarding, automatic account removal when employees leave, reduced help desk workload, lower costs, and stronger security through quicker disabling of inactive accounts and improved access control across ASOS’s SaaS ecosystem.
