Azure Active Directory
Secure and Accessible – You Can Have Both with Azure AD
Azure Active Directory is the always-on access gatekeeper
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), part of Microsoft Entra, is an enterprise identity service that provides single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and conditional access. Its purpose is to guard against cybersecurity attacks while providing convenient access to authorized users. Azure AD helps employees sign up to multiple services and access them anywhere over the cloud with a single set of login credential.
It’s helpful to think of Azure AD as an Identity as a Service (IaaS) application — a cloud-based authentication service that ensures that those logging in are who they say they are. It allows you to maintain high levels of access security while retaining essential user privileges and access across multiple platforms and applications, both on-premises and in the cloud.
Velosio has extensive experience planning and configuring Azure Active Directory and other security applications for developers, IT professionals, and clients. Tap into our expertise to ensure your vital business data remains secure and accessible.

Help ensure that only authorized users can access apps and data for users and admins with efficient automated identity governance.
Streamline Identity Infrastructure Administration

Scalable for Long-Term Success
Azure AD is available in multiple editions, each with an increasingly rich set of features that can adapt to your growing company’s needs.
Modern Security Solutions
In its gatekeeper role, Azure AD provides organizations of all sizes a simplified way of activating Single Sign-On (SSO) to Software as a Service (SaaS) applications like Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and thousands more. Additionally, developers use Azure AD to easily incorporate a world-class identity solution into their applications.
In addition to SSO, Azure AD includes multifactor authentication, self-service password reset, privileged identity management, role-based access control, application usage monitoring, auditing and security monitoring, and alerting.
Velosio provides strategic consulting and design services to help organizations leverage Azure Storage solutions to better manage and secure their business data.

BPB selected Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations to gain better financial control and to provide a 360-degree view of its client relationships and Velosio as its implementation partner.
“They were very responsive, answered all of our questions, made sure to check off all of our wants and needs, and were specific and diligent with the implementation information,” says Andy Advincula, CFO.
