Tobias Binkert, Head of IT at We Are Era, and Yusuke Kodama, Product Manager at Microsoft (who specialises in cloud-first identity, among many other things), join us to discuss We Are Eraโs successful migration from on-premises Active Directory to a fully cloud-native Microsoft Entra ID environment.
We delve into the motivations behind this significant shift with practical strategies for migrating devices using Microsoft Autopilot, modernizing applications, managing user accounts and groups in the cloud, and overcoming challenges like legacy RADIUS dependencies. Tobias shares the tangible benefits We Are Era experienced, including enhanced security, a superior user experience and increased agility for adopting new technologies.

On a related note we ran a poll a few weeks ago asking what your Identity plans were for 2030 and beyond. Nearly 90% of you were looking to go Entra ID first with more than half planning to go full cloud native with Entra ID.
So hopefully this episode with Tobias and Yusuke will help shed some light and help you start your journey to going cloud-first/cloud-native.
