Strata Identity to Host Webinar with Kroger and Microsoft on Cloud Migration & Modernization

Strata Identity, the distributed, multi-cloud identity orchestration company, today announced it will host a free webinar featuring supermarket giant Kroger and Microsoft entitled Frozen Peas, Identity Management & the Path to Modernization on October 7th.

WHO: Panelists:
Rob Lenhof - Corporate Information Security Technology Manager, Kroger
Stefan van der Wiele - Senior Program Manager, Azure Active Directory at Microsoft

Moderator: Mark Callahan, Senior Director - Product Marketing, Strata Identity

WHAT: Moving food and other essentials from factory to table involves many steps and moving parts. And each step requires people and applications to get the job done, all of which rely on identity and access management to provide security and eliminate friction. When Kroger decided to move to the cloud they were forced to modernize their legacy identity systems, which would have required them to re-code hundreds of their applications. Given the time, costs and business disruption impacts, this wasn't an option. In this session Rob Lenhof and Stefan van der Wiele will explain how Kroger migrated its applications to Microsoft Azure AD without re-writing them, while enabling incompatible legacy and cloud identity systems to interoperate. Attendees will learn:

• How to reduce the complexity associated with modernizing identity when moving the cloud
• The pitfalls to avoid and planning steps needed to ensure a smooth migration of applications and identities
• Best practices that will eliminate much of the time, cost, resources and risk of cloud migrations

WHEN: October 7, 2021 at 11 AM EDT

WHERE: This webinar is accessible online with confirmed registration.
