Microsoft Entra extension

Extend Microsoft Entra into the systems it cannot reach natively.

UNIFYConnect helps Microsoft Entra ID, app provisioning, and identity governance work across HR platforms, legacy applications, partner identities, and hybrid identity environments.

Provision connect HR-driven lifecycle events to Entra ID and directories
Integrate bring applications into modern provisioning patterns
Govern support access, guests, partners, and lifecycle assurance
Why it matters

Entra is the control plane, but not every system is Entra-ready.

Microsoft Entra is central to modern identity, access, and Zero Trust programs, but most organisations still depend on HR systems, applications, and directories that do not map neatly to native cloud patterns.
UNIFYConnect helps bridge that gap by extending Entra-aligned lifecycle automation, provisioning, and governance into the systems that still run the business.
Entra HR provisioning
Ensure Microsoft Entra ID accurately represents workforce identities and lifecycle state from supported HR and enterprise sources.
Microsoft Entra app provisioning
Use modern provisioning patterns such as SCIM where possible, and bridge applications that do not natively support them.
Microsoft Entra Identity Governance
Bring eligible identities, vendors, partners, and lifecycle signals into governance workflows.
B2B guest provisioning
Manage trusted partner and vendor identities with more consistent source, lifecycle, and access processes.
Zero Trust foundation

Identity lifecycle data needs to be timely, governed, and reusable.

Organisations can align with Microsoft Entra’s roadmap by adopting modern authentication, conditional access, identity governance, and provisioning practices. UNIFYConnect supports the integration layer needed when source and target systems are not covered by native capability alone.
Enterprise grade
UNIFYConnect scales across large active identity populations and complex system landscapes.
Supported operations
UNIFYConnect is supported by UNIFY’s managed services and support capability.
Lower technical debt
Reusable integration patterns reduce reliance on bespoke point solutions and fragile scripts.
Flexible architecture
UNIFYConnect can adapt as requirements change and as Microsoft releases new Entra capabilities.
HR and app provisioning

UNIFYConnect expands Entra provisioning beyond the obvious systems.

Most enterprises operate a hybrid identity model. UNIFYConnect extends HR-driven provisioning and app provisioning patterns for regional HR systems, enterprise applications, and on-premises targets that may not be supported directly by native Entra connectors.
HR-driven provisioning Connect workforce lifecycle events from supported HR and enterprise sources into Entra ID and directories.
Application provisioning Bring more applications into automated account, attribute, and entitlement lifecycle workflows.
Governed outcomes Keep lifecycle actions easier to trace for identity governance, access review, and audit.

See supported systems for source and target platforms.

Identity Governance

Governance improves when more identities and systems can participate.

Microsoft Entra Identity Governance provides entitlement management, access reviews, and compliance controls. UNIFYConnect helps extend the identity lifecycle foundation so more identities, attributes, and systems can feed those governance processes.
Authentication and authorisation context
Support identity patterns that span Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and connected systems.
SCIM provisioning bridge
Help applications participate in Entra provisioning even when the native integration path is limited.
External-party access
Provision vendors, partners, and suppliers using authoritative source data and governed workflows.
Attribute-based control
Keep access decisions connected to trusted attributes across cloud and on-premises applications.
B2B and external identities

Partners, vendors, and suppliers need lifecycle control too.

Traditional HR systems usually focus on employees. UNIFYConnect and Microsoft Entra governance patterns can help provision and manage external identities using more consistent source data, workflow, and access controls.
