Want to link Azure Active Directory with AFAS?
Get automatic access to systems through the AD connector.
Azure Active Directory connector
Do you use AFAS software as your Dutch HRM system and Microsoft Active Directory for managing, sharing and centrally storing data, for example? Do you spend a lot of time manually granting access to systems? Thanks to the Azure Active Directory connector, this is a thing of the past.
The AD connector automatically synchronises data between systems. This allows employees to access systems automatically. As a result, you always have control and insight into the data.
Interested in the Azure AD connector with AFAS or another system?
Then please contact us. We can also link Azure Active Directory with other systems. We are more than happy to discuss the possibilities with you.
What does Azure Active Directory do?
Microsoft Active Directory is an environment where administrators within a company's network manage, share and centrally store all data. In addition, Microsoft Active Directory makes it possible to manage and restrict rights and settings from one location. Finally, it allows automatic installation of software and patches.
What does the Azure AD connector do?
The Active Directory ensures that data such as from AFAS is used for employee permissions. If an employee leaves employment, the account is immediately suspended. Vice versa, of course, this also applies. A new employee reported by the HR department is given a user role. This gives them immediate access to the necessary applications and information. Adjusting data, such as an internal telephone number or a change in position, is thus also immediately updated in all places. The connector ensures that all information is automatically sent to the right location when changes are made.
What are the benefits of an interface?
1. Information flow:
If you work with multiple types of software, an exchange of data takes place using an interface. Due to the complex set-up, it is important that the data synchronises properly. The Microsoft AD link ensures flawless data exchange by extracting the data daily and comparing files from both Microsoft Active Directory and AFAS. Of course, Microsoft AD can also be linked to a system of your choice, whereby you are assured of a complete and secure analysis of your company data.
2. Fewer errors:
The AD Connector greatly reduces the risk of errors. The link ensures that you monitor and enter everything in one system, which prevents data discrepancies in different systems.
3. Dashboards & Reports:
SalureConnect is a software platform with very user-friendly dashboards. You can have these automatically e-mailed or exported to Excel. You quickly analyse data at multiple levels, because the dashboards can be accessed in multiple layers. In addition, SalureConnect is 100% modular.
When you link Azure AD with AFAS, for example, information from both systems becomes visible in the dashboards. You also get all kinds of standard ad-hoc reports, within the topics that are relevant to you. The system delivers the desired output at any time.
4. No duplicate entry:
The AD connector ensures that you only enter and manage data in one place. By entering, maintaining and checking data in one system, you save time that you can instead spend on real Human Resource Management, for example.

- Logs: You have very detailed insight into which data was forwarded, which parts failed and how long everything took.
- Monitoring dashboards: You see at a glance how often tasks were completed successfully, completed with errors or failed completely.

When is an Azure AD connector useful for you?
Deciding to use a connector is not something you do every day. You want to make an informed choice for your organisation. We understand that! So it’s important to know when a connector will add value for you. Below you will find three situations where an Azure Active Directory connector is useful:
-
- When you enter new employees in your HRM system, accounts have to be created in the company systems;
- When you want to grant rights to employees based on function or organisational unit in the HRM system;
- When employees’ rights need to be revoked because they are leaving employment, or taking up another position within the organisation.
Our method
You create a set-up for the dashboards together with our data specialist, so that your company data is presented as clearly and simply as possible. The SalureConnect dashboards are suitable for daily use and allow you to make decisions based on current business data.
We link Microsoft Active Directory and AFAS to SalureConnect to extract data from the systems.
The data is then transformed into a single format for the system to compare.
The enormous amount of data is visualised in clear dashboards.
We provide real-time synchronisation between Azure Active Directory and AFAS.
The synchronisation is maintained through active alerting and monitoring.

Yes, we can also link Azure Active Directory with systems other than AFAS. Curious whether an Active Directory link can be made with your system? Then please contact us.
The Azure Active Directory link with an HRM system such as AFAS automates the process of granting authorisations to employees. For example, an account of an employee leaving employment is immediately suspended and a new employee is immediately given a user role, giving the person immediate access to the necessary applications and information. In addition, when data is changed, such as an internal phone number or change in position, it is immediately updated in all systems. In short: the connector ensures that information is automatically sent to the right location when changes are made.
From the moment we start building the link, you should expect a lead time of at least 3 months.
The realisation of a link always follows the following 5 phases: intake, info session, development, validation and completion. The starting point during the realisation of the link is that it is based on test-driven development.
