Microsoft Entra Verified ID: POC

Welcome to the future of work! Organisations are having to reinvent themselves from location-based businesses to offering human-centric models where employees, partners, and customers, expect flexibility, collaboration, and management wherever they are. This creates a seismic shift for CIOs as the digital surface of their external facing services dramatically increases and poses critical questions about managing the associated risks. Microsoft Entra Verified ID addresses the challenges of securely managing and verifying identities in a hybrid and collaborative world. It enables organisations to remotely onboard, issue, and verify digital identity credentials for employees, partners, and customers providing seamless access to the high value applications and resources they need. By streamlining onboarding and access, businesses can achieve faster time-to-hire, quicker time-to-productivity, and instant resource provisioning. Simplify collaboration with external partners by verifying credential without the need for multiple accounts. Additionally, self-service capabilities can be enhanced to mitigate impersonation risks and empower users to manage accounts and recover passwords quickly. Condatis is offering an Entra Verified ID Proof of Concept demonstrating how your organisation can leverage digital identity credentials to streamline onboarding, secure access, and enhance collaboration. By focusing on a targeted use case, this PoC/PoV provides tangible value through hands-on implementation, showcasing the efficiency, security, and flexibility offered by Entra Verified ID.
