Okta to Microsoft Entra Migration: Enable and Deploy

Ascent’s Okta-to-Entra Migration (phase I) prepares clients for managing employee change, tooling configuration, and increased compliance requirements. Ascent consultants’ deep Microsoft experience meets each client—regardless of size, maturity, and industry—where they’re at. The shift from Okta to Microsoft Entra saves licensing dollars, simplifies employee authentication, and minimizes time spent configuring custom data connectors. Reduce data risk specific to your industry and simplify employee sign in habits with Entra’s unified platform approach.
