-- The consulting firm has introduced this service as a way to fill the role that was once played by Microsoft’s now-discontinued first-party migration protocol. Recognizing the high risk of data loss for those still using MIM, the firm is reaching out to help businesses bring their digital identities onto Sailpoint or Azure in the most secure way possible.

Microsoft Identity Manager, commonly known as MIM, has been a staple in the cybersecurity industry since 2007, but is now being phased out. By 2026, support for the software will officially end, though most data security experts recommend migrating ahead of that date to avoid vulnerabilities as they are inevitably discovered and exploited.
While Microsoft once allowed users to migrate their data to Azure using an automated tool, that, too, has since been removed from service, meaning companies now need to turn elsewhere for their data transfer needs. It is with this in mind that Azure IAM created their new service, transferring MIM data onto the client’s system of choice without risk of data loss.
The firm’s security architects are experts in the Azure ecosystem including Azure Active Directory, though Sailpoint is also being offered as an alternative for those in the enterprise sector.
Overall, these systems represent the industry’s most feature-complete MIM successors, presenting overlapping yet distinct toolkits suitable for a wide range of applications.
"As MIM specialists, we offer guidance and migration services to transition your MIM to Sailpoint or Azure," a spokesperson for the firm said. "We can help you break down silos between your disparate systems, which will allow user identities to securely flow between systems."
Migrating from MIM ahead of the end-of-service date will be increasingly imperative in the coming months and years. Many companies are still implementing the system as a cost-saving measure, but following the 2026 deadline, updates will cease, and the effectiveness of the security tools present on that platform will erode over time.
Those looking to initiate this transfer process to either Azure or Sailpoint should contact Azure IAM immediately to discuss the creation of a new verified security environment.
