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:

For full-suite construction project lifecycle management, the Aquera CMiC Sync Bridge to AD and Entra ID synchronizes users bidirectionally in CMiC 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 CMiC. Additionally, for Entra ID Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), the Aquera Sync Bridge retrieves user entitlements from CMiC and imports to Entra ID when supported in Entra.
