Microsoft and SAP have collaborated to modernize identity management for SAP customers, offering guidance to transition from SAP Identity Management (SAP IDM) to Microsoft Entra ID. This move comes as SAP announced the end-of-maintenance for their on-premises identity management tool by 2030. Microsoft Entra ID, a cloud-based identity and access management solution, has been recommended by SAP for a seamless migration process.
The migration guidance provided by Microsoft aims to assist SAP IDM customers in transitioning to Entra ID for both cloud and on-premises applications like SuccessFactors, SAP ECC, and Windows Server Active Directory. Microsoft 365 Enterprise customers can benefit from features such as Conditional Access policies for enhanced security measures like multifactor authentication (MFA), self-service portals for increased administrative efficiency, automated user provisioning, and single sign-on (SSO). These features not only improve security but also enhance user experience and lay a strong foundation for Zero Trust architecture.
This collaboration highlights the long-standing partnership between Microsoft and SAP, showcasing how Microsoft’s solutions, particularly Azure, can help SAP customers accelerate their operations securely.
