Syncro’s Enhanced Microsoft Entra ID Sync

Streamline operations and provide better service to your clients by syncing data from Entra ID Users directly to Syncro Contacts. Ensure that you aren’t being charged for licenses that you aren’t using, and take granular control with per-tenant settings.

Our newly improved Entra ID Sync feature set is available with Syncro Team Plan.

Syncro Entra ID Sync Features:

  • Synced Contact Information: Keep all client contact information synced ensuring accurate and up-to-date records.
  • Automated Client Billing: Automate client billing based on their Microsoft License type using the Customer Contact.
  • Saving Clients Money: Lower costs by finding unused Microsoft licenses and automatically remove them.
  • Audit Client Security: Quickly find clients who have low Microsoft Secure Scores or don’t have MFA turned on.
  • Clear Empty Licenses with Per Tenant Controls: Create per-tenant settings, so that you can decide exactly what you want to do when someone leaves: either clearing the empty license or leaving it static.
  • Link Contacts to Devices: You can now link Entra-created contacts directly to devices, provided the client has the appropriate license (Entra P1, included in M365 Premium). This will allow you to easily leverage future AI features that will enable automatic assignment of related assets to a contact’s tickets.
  • Updated Naming: We have updated the integration’s name to Microsoft Entra ID Sync to stay in line with Microsoft’s branding changes.
