Replace ageing ADFS and legacy federation with modern Microsoft Entra ID authentication and application access.

Specialist Microsoft consulting

Plan, modernise and transition with confidence

Legacy federation platforms can create operational overhead, certificate risk and unnecessary infrastructure dependencies. ProWise Technology helps identify application dependencies and transition authentication to cloud-managed, standards-based services.

Our capabilities

  • ADFS discovery, assessment and migration planning
  • Application federation migration to Microsoft Entra ID
  • SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect integration
  • Password Hash Synchronisation, Pass-through Authentication and Seamless SSO advisory
  • Legacy authentication and WS-Trust dependency review
  • Claims mapping, transformation and application testing
  • Certificate and token-signing dependency management
  • ADFS retirement and decommissioning planning

Common challenges we address

  • Unknown relying party and claims dependencies
  • Certificate expiry and federation infrastructure risk
  • Applications using legacy authentication protocols
  • Limited documentation for existing integrations
  • Business-critical applications requiring controlled cutover

Delivery approach

Structured from discovery through handover

Every engagement is adapted to the organisation's risk profile, technical dependencies and delivery governance. We focus on practical designs, controlled migration, meaningful testing and clear operational ownership.
