OPEN AD™ Integration
Leveraging Open AD integration for IDSync, Parallels ISV partners can provide real-time interactions with on premise SMB Active Directories for their cloud services, eliminating the cost and effort of building custom integrations.

This is especially important for service providers who are moving up-market to serve customers who have hybrid cloud requirements.

- Instant provisioning of new users and services for faster customer service and increased revenues
