Delivering Passwordless SSO and Provisioning Quest Accounts Across Office 365 Tenants The new normal has impacted every organization. Some, modern businesses, have taken things in stride, while others, not quite remote-work ready, are still finding their way. Whatever their situation, every business is leaning heavily on its cloud solutions like Office 365, Slack, and Zoom. Streamlining secure access to these apps through passwordless SSO, from whichever device they have available— their home desktop, remote workstation, or personal smartphone is critical. At the same time, essential services are hiring workers at a rapid pace, often with different business units merging and working together. Provisioning guest accounts so that multi-tenant organizations can collaborate easily has always been a challenge for Office 365. Until now.
