From Hybrid to Full Cloud- Is It Right for You?

Securing a hybrid Active Directory environment can be complex and expensive, with highly weaponized toolsets targeting both on-premises and cloud directories. Transitioning to a “cloud first/cloud only” one is a worthy goal, but 20+ years of built-up dependencies on Active Directory does not magically disappear. Is such a transformation an attractive prospect for your organization? How would you plan it, how long would it take, and how much would it cost? Would it be worth the effort–and is it even possible? Learn how Accenture, with around 850,000 worldwide end users, is working toward this goal. We will explain how we broke down the challenge and created checkpoint milestones to measure progress and realize value. We will also discuss potential technical blockers, provide an honest appraisal of our efforts, and give you recommendations for whether you should take on the challenge in your own environment.
