1. Strength of VIS for Office 365
Office 365 for Microsoft can provide you with easy,
real-time access to cloud-based email, file sharing,
web conferencing and other Office applications. It
is ideal for organizations to use Office 365
because it negates the need for them to have on-
premise servers to acquire this functionality. For
most businesses today, moving to the cloud is a
slow and difficult process. It can take months just
to complete the process.
Aside from being time consuming the adoption of
Office 365 comes with some barriers. The VIS
(Virtual Identity Server) for O365 is very useful in
dealing with the challenges that come with the
adoption of Office 365; besides removing the most
common barriers, it provides efficient and fast cloud deployment as well, cutting down the length
of the process from months to just days.
It is a continuous solution and offers other functions such as data filtering or translation, syncing
users or groups and completing audit logging and DoS capabilities. DoS is an attack in which
the availability of data from its sources become suspended, making it less possible for the user
to access the information needed during the query. It can filter and translate data not only when
synced but also during authentication. The federation components of the VIS for Office 365 can
even provide OOB 2-factor authentication to O365 and at the same time allow customers who
are not able to get to the cloud an easy and quick path with a simple user interface such as
point and click.
