Building on our joint announcement with SAP earlier this year, we have now released guidance to help customers modernize their SAP environment and move their identity management scenarios from SAP Identity Management (SAP IDM) to Entra ID.  With this documentation, SAP IDM customers can migrate seamlessly to the cloud-based IAM and identify the right partners that can assist.   

In February, SAP announced that the on-premises tool for managing identity would reach end-of-maintenance by 2030. We are honored that SAP has recommended Microsoft Entra ID, our cloud-based identity and access management solution, to facilitate a seamless migration and ongoing enterprise-wide identity and access management. 

We have now published the first round of migration guidance for customers who are using SAP IDM for cloud and on-premises applications like SuccessFactors, SAP ECC, or Windows Server Active Directory on Microsoft Entra blog. Microsoft 365 Enterprise customers can quickly create Conditional Access policies to automatically apply security measures like multifactor authentication (MFA), and increase their administrative efficiency with self-service portals, automated user provisioning and single sign-on (SSO). These features provide a major step toward better security and a less frustrating user experience, as well as a critical foundation for Zero Trust architecture.
