Our team has evaluated and migrated remote access from legacy VPN models to identity-driven access with SSO, directory groups, least-privilege controls, and phased production rollouts.

Project challenge

Replace a mature remote-access service without interrupting existing users or forcing a high-risk all-at-once cutover.

Delivery

  • The team ran a multi-month proof of concept covering authentication, access control, performance, and user experience.
  • The team integrated SSO and directory groups to drive access decisions and least-privilege firewall controls.
  • The team migrated users in controlled groups while keeping the legacy service available during transition.
  • The team completed risk assessment, performance validation, stakeholder readiness, and legacy-service decommissioning.

Outcome

Remote access was transitioned to an identity-aware model through controlled migration waves without requiring a disruptive big-bang change.
