Replace Okta & Duo: How to Consolidate Your Identity Stack

STOP PAYING TWICE FOR YOUR MICROSOFT 365 CAPABILITIES. Most organizations treat M365 as a simple email utility, missing out on the massive foundational infrastructure they already own. In this episode of M365 FM, Mir Peters reveals how to stop hemorrhaging capital on redundant third-party vendors and start engineering your tenant for maximum ROI.

We dive deep into the concept of ARCHITECTURAL ARBITRAGE. You will discover why your Entra ID is actually a distributed decision engine, not just a login service. We break down the hidden costs of the third-party IAM tax and explain how to consolidate your control plane to fund strategic initiatives like AI and advanced analytics.

By the end of this deep dive, you will understand the roadmap for moving from operational chaos to architectural sovereignty. Whether you are struggling with the Copilot efficiency gap or preparing for the 2026 non-human identity crisis, this guide provides the engineering discipline needed to win.
