Microsoft Recognizes Aquera as Strategic Alliance Partner:

Microsoft features Aquera as strategic partner for HR-driven identity integration with Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID, and sync with 900+ non-Gallery business apps.

Microsoft Entra with Aquera: Identity Lifecycle Management at Scale:

✅ Microsoft recognizes Aquera for HR-driven identity sync between Entra ID (Azure AD) and HCM, embedding identity context throughout the employee lifecycle to reduce risk.
✅ Gartner Designates Aquera "Cool Vendor" (2022) in Identity-First Security; and Specialists (2024) in “Identity data integration" and "SCIM gateway".

Bi-directional Automated Sync: Cloud, On-Prem, Hybrid:

The Aquera SAP HANA Sync Bridge to AD and Entra ID synchronizes users bidirectionally in SAP HANA to Active Directory (AD) on-prem, AD/Entra ID hybrid, and pure Entra ID cloud. When only AD is used, the Aquera Sync Bridge syncs users directly from HR systems or from AD directories into SAP HANA. Additionally, for Entra ID Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), the Aquera Sync Bridge retrieves user entitlements from SAP HANA and imports to Entra ID when supported in Entra.
