This is a representative, anonymized engagement pattern built from recurring delivery work at Evotec Services sp. z o.o. It shows the shape of the work, not a named client.
The starting point
The client had a hybrid identity estate with recurring synchronization issues, weak visibility into failures, and uncertainty around whether problems were caused by permissions, data quality, or cloud-side configuration.
In practice, the problem was not only "Entra Connect is failing." The deeper issue was that nobody had a stable operating model for hybrid identity.
Why teams usually call us for this
Hybrid identity problems are usually already operationally expensive by the time someone reaches out. Teams need clearer ownership boundaries, better reporting, stronger troubleshooting paths, and automation they can reuse after the initial incident is over.
What the engagement focused on
- Review synchronization failures, export issues, and permission-related blockers.
- Clarify which operational tasks belonged on-premises, in Microsoft 365, and in Entra.
- Improve reporting so failures became actionable instead of anecdotal.
- Introduce automation patterns for recurring tenant-level diagnostics and follow-up.
Delivery shape
- sync and permission troubleshooting
- targeted automation around recurring admin workflows
- reporting for synchronized objects and tenant health
- documented remediation path for the internal team
Typical outputs
- clearer root-cause path for export and sync failures
- improved understanding of hybrid identity dependencies
- reusable automation for reporting and diagnostics
- supportable documentation for follow-up changes
What makes this engagement practical
- troubleshooting anchored in operational evidence rather than assumptions
- tenant and synchronization reporting that stays useful after remediation
- pragmatic automation for recurring Microsoft 365 and Entra admin workflows
- documentation that makes hybrid identity easier for internal teams to support
