Architecture Overview

The application is hosted in the Microsoft Azure platform using Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) components. The service is globally distributed to ensure regional performance and high availability. The application is built around Azure AD as the authentication provider, users authenticate into the edison365 application using their Azure AD accounts that are maintained by their organization. As the authentication is managed by the customer's Azure AD, any conditional access policies such as MFA will be honoured. 

The application will make use of Microsoft 365 services such as user profile details, working times and Microsoft Teams presence, this is provided via the Microsoft Graph API.
