BUSINESS REQUIREMENT
TeamGo sought to streamline security management by reducing the need for additional resources or efforts. This shift allowed them to focus on core business functions while ensuring a robust security posture.
CHALLENGES IN EXECUTION & SOLUTIONS
We encountered challenges with plugin selection, production behaviour and maintaining effective communication with teams.
While we carefully selected plugins, their limitations necessitated additional development effort to achieve the desired functionality.
Accurately replicating existing production behavior within the new system required close collaboration with the back-end team.
Effective communication and managing dependencies with both the back-end team and the Single Sign-On (SSO) environment proved to be a hurdle.
OUR SOLUTION
To optimize TeamGo's security processes, we implemented Azure B2C Active Directory alongside MSAL. Token handling was automated and connected seamlessly with their existing Microsoft infrastructure. This translated to a more efficient way to manage security, freeing up their team to focus on core business priorities.
OUR APPROACH
We initiated the project with proof-of-concept (POC) development for both the web and mobile applications. Following this we engaged in collaborative discussions with Solution Architects (SAs) and key stakeholders. These in-depth discussions allowed for a meticulous analysis of potential integration hurdles.
- We began by thoroughly understanding MSAL and Azure AD, to ensure a smooth development process. A dedicated environment was set up and user stories were defined with clear acceptance criteria. This initial groundwork laid the foundation for the core architecture.
RESULTS
TeamGo's switch to Azure B2C Active Directory (MSAL) delivered big wins: 50-70% faster development, 60-80% stronger security, and 30-50% happier users thanks to seamless multi-platform logins. Compliance risks also dropped by 40-60%, and data-driven insights increased 20-40% for continuous app optimization.
