Certified implementation, integration, and managed services for Workforce Identity, Customer Identity, and Privileged Access.
300+ deployments. Zero failed projects. We fix broken tenants and build new ones — without the seat-time pressure of Okta's own professional services.
Okta's Smart Start gives you a fixed block of meetings and a clock that starts ticking at kickoff. Miss a session or need an extra call? That's a change order. We don't work that way. You get senior, Okta-certified consultants with no seat-time pressure — a team that has solved your exact problem before, across 300+ implementations in healthcare, finance, technology, and government. We also take on engagements Okta PS typically won't: messy tenant cleanups, post-acquisition consolidations, and deeply customized legacy app integrations.

These are the configurations we build most often. If yours isn't here, we've probably done something harder.
Deploying Microsoft 365 through Okta gives you WS-Federation-based SSO, Okta-managed MFA replacing Azure AD MFA, and automated license provisioning tied to your HR system. We configure Hybrid Azure AD Join for on-prem AD environments and handle Exchange Online mailbox provisioning, Teams policy assignment, and SharePoint permissions — all driven by Okta group membership.
Your HRIS should be the master record for identity. We build Okta Workflows integrations that listen to Workday or BambooHR hire, transfer, and termination events and immediately propagate access changes across every connected application. No manual tickets. No access that outlives employment.
Enterprise SaaS platforms have complex permission models beyond basic SSO. We map Okta groups to Salesforce profiles and permission sets, ServiceNow roles, and Zendesk organizations — so app access stays consistent, auditable, and automatically maintained as people change roles.
Not every app is in Okta's catalog. We build custom SAML, OIDC, and SWA integrations for in-house applications, and use Okta's API Access Management (OAuth 2.0) to secure custom APIs. For apps that can't federate natively, Secure Web Authentication (SWA) provides credential vaulting without requiring app code changes.
Regulated industries require auditable access control, MFA enforcement, and session policies that satisfy compliance frameworks. We configure Okta to produce the audit logs, access certifications, and policy documentation that satisfies HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2 CC6.x controls, and FedRAMP Moderate access management requirements.
Inheriting a messy Okta tenant — or consolidating after an acquisition — requires careful migration of users, groups, app assignments, and policies without disrupting production. We've completed dozens of tenant-to-tenant migrations and cleanup engagements that most consultants won't take on.
Most organizations only use 30–40% of what Okta can do. Here's the full picture.
Predictable steps. Fixed pricing. No surprises at go-live.
We review your current environment, map your app inventory, and identify the top 3 identity gaps — orphaned accounts, SSO coverage holes, or missing MFA on critical systems.
Plain-English project plan: milestones, timeline, and a fixed fee. No hourly billing surprises. No scope creep if you stay on agreed requirements.
Core SSO and MFA deploy first — users see immediate value. Lifecycle Management, Workflows, and advanced features roll out in subsequent phases so production is never destabilized.
Your team receives hands-on training and full documentation. They leave knowing how to manage the environment, not just how to use it. Managed Services available post-launch.
7,000+ integrations in the Okta Integration Network. We handle the complex ones — custom SAML, SCIM provisioning, and OAuth 2.0-secured APIs.
Most standard deployments — SSO and MFA for 50–500 users — complete in 2–4 weeks. Environments requiring Lifecycle Management with HRIS integration typically run 4–8 weeks. Tenant migrations and large enterprise engagements are scoped individually. We deploy in phases so you see value fast.
Premier Partners must meet strict criteria: a minimum number of Okta-certified consultants on staff, documented deployment history, and verified customer satisfaction scores. Iron Cove has held Premier status since 2017 — one of a small number of firms nationwide at that level.
Yes — optimization and cleanup is a significant part of what we do. Common scenario: Okta was deployed years ago, policies have sprawled, integrations are broken, and nothing was documented. We audit the tenant, fix broken SAML integrations, clean up group structure, and document everything.
Yes. Our Okta Managed Services retainer covers administration, new app integrations, policy changes, user support escalations, and quarterly health checks. Most clients use a hybrid model — their team handles day-to-day; we handle projects and complex issues. See our full Okta Managed Services page for scope and pricing.
View Okta Managed Services →Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) is for employees and internal users — SSO, MFA, lifecycle management. Customer Identity Cloud (CIAM, formerly Auth0) is for external users — registration, social login, consent, and progressive profiling. Many organizations need both, and we implement and integrate them together.
Absolutely. Okta AD Agent syncs your on-prem AD to Okta Universal Directory, making AD the master source while Okta controls cloud app access. We also configure hybrid scenarios: Hybrid Azure AD Join, WS-Trust for legacy rich clients, and Kerberos constrained delegation for SharePoint and internal apps.

Most of our customers find Smart Start too rigid — limited to a fixed number of sessions and a short timeline that isn't aligned with their long-term goals. Smart Start also requires active customer involvement across technical workshops and integration details; organizations that lack the time or staff for that level of engagement often end up with more confusion and less progress. And once deployment ends, Smart Start doesn't include the ongoing optimization, updates, scaling, or troubleshooting that our retainer and fixed-fee model provides. Smart Start creates a fast entry, but real, sustainable identity management is built when trust is earned and maintained through continuous, meaningful consulting.
