Even more SAAS Apps working with #AzureAD!

First published on CloudBlogs on Apr, 04 2016
Howdy folks, As those of you who follow this blog know, managing access to SAAS Apps is at the very core of Azure AD. The system was architected from the ground up with the goal of making it easy to manage the exploding world of cloud applications! This app centric approach was a huge, risky bet for us when we first started the service, but it paid off big time as the business use of apps like Office 365, Salesforce.com, Google Apps & Box have soared. Using Azure AD to manage access to SAAS Apps has become so popular that in March, our customers used it to manage access to more than 55k non-Microsoft applications! Given this kind of demand, in March we started a big push to increase the size of our pre-integrated app catalog. I am excited to announce that as a result of the first month of that push, we've added 17 new SaaS apps to Azure AD App Gallery in March & these apps all supported federated SSO enabled. Here's the breakdown of those 17: HR apps:

• Ultipro : one of the TOP 50 SaaS apps and an important HR system by Ultimate Software
