Case Study: Portal Solutions achieves faster, simpler external user authentication with Microsoft Azure Active Directory

Firm Uses Identity Management Solution to Develop Cost-Effective Authentication Tool

Portal Solutions, a professional services firm, faced the challenge of helping its customers manage secure external access to their Microsoft SharePoint portals. Their clients struggled with the complexity and IT burden of manually provisioning accounts and handling passwords for external partners and consultants. To address this, they turned to Microsoft Azure Active Directory to build a streamlined authentication solution.

By leveraging Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Portal Solutions developed AuthentiMate, a tool that allows external users to log in with existing social media credentials. This solution from Microsoft eliminated costly custom development, reducing deployment time from months to days. The results included simplified identity management, an improved user experience, and a significant competitive advantage for Portal Solutions, allowing them to deliver greater value to their customers.
