Case Study: Hearst Corporation achieves centralized, secure digital enterprise operations with Microsoft Corporation

Eight things this media giant likes about Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Security and Azure Active Directory

Hearst Corporation, the New York-based media giant, needed to unify dozens of business units into a centralized digital enterprise while improving identity management, security, and app access. Hearst turned to Microsoft Corporation’s Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) suite and Azure Active Directory to support its cloud-first, mobile-first transformation.

Microsoft Corporation implemented EMS, Azure Active Directory, and related services such as Advanced Threat Analytics, Azure Application Proxy, and Identity Protection to streamline access, accelerate SaaS app deployment, and strengthen security. The results included launching apps in hours instead of months, one identity for 20,000 employees, reduced help-desk calls and password costs, faster collaboration, and real-time threat visibility across Hearst’s organization.
