Microsoft Azure est une plateforme de cloud computing ouverte et flexible destinée aux entreprises. Elle était autrefois nommée Windows Azure.
Main Activities: I'm involved in many interesting challenges at m3 Group. Existing Infrastructure needed to be
modernized and we decided to go with a hybrid Cloud approach (IaaS, PaaS) and SaaS with Microsoft 365
services. I'm leading the architecture, design, integration and projects coordination with our different internal
teams and external partners to make our IT projects a success.
1/ Modernize existing Infrastructure
- VMware vSphere 6 infrastructure
- Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp & Citrix ADC (Netscaler) for LoadBalancing and Publishing
- Fortigate Firewalling and MFA FortiToken
- Follow me Printing Solution: Ysoft
- Microsoft-Oriented infrastructure (AD, DNS, DFS, DHCP, Filer...)
- Windows 11 Automatic Deployment with WDS/MDT
- Active Directory Hardening with GPO (Baseline, LAPS...)
- Messaging and Unified Communication: Skype for Business & Exchange 2016 services
- Setup new Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
2/ Identity and Access Management (IAM) modernization:
- Consolidation of all m3 companies into a new single m3 group domain with Active Directory (AD) using AD
Migration Tool (ADMT), MIM (Microsoft Identity Manager).
- Implementation of AAD conditional Access
- Implementation of Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) for hybrid identity
- Integration of applications to Azure AD and Implement SSO with federation approach (SAML, oAuth2, OIDC)
- Hybrid Identity: Synchronization of identity to Azure AD with Azure AD Connect v2 using custom Sync Rules,
Password Hash Sync (PHS) with Seamless SSO, Hybrid Azure AD Join with PRT), SAML JIT, SCIM (Automatic
Identity Provisioning)
- Implement Password Less approach (Windows Hello for Business with Cloud Trust, Fido2, Ms Authenticator
password less sign in, Phone sign in)
- Implement Intune MDM and MAM Solution to secure BYOD (Android, iOS, MacOS)
3/ Hybrid cloud Infrastructure approach:
I acted as Azure Architect and was in charge of Architecture, Design and Integration phases.
- Azure and Microsoft 365 Subscription and Licences (Cost Optimization, PAYG, CSP, Enterprise Agreement)
- Azure Governance (Naming Convention, Management Group, RBAC, Azure Policy, Azure KeyVault, Managed
Identity, Storage Account, Azure Monitor, Azure Private Link/Private Endpoint)

Security Center Just-In-Time VM Access, VNET/subnet, VNET Peering, ASG/NSG, UDR, Azure VPN, Cisco Meraki
VMx Site-to-Site VPN, Cisco Umbrella DNS, P2S VPN with Azure VPN)
- Azure IaaS reserved Instances
- Azure Migration from tenant to another Tenant and Subscription to another subscription
- Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Backup for M365/For Azure
4/ Microsoft 365 Migration:
I’m leading the Governance, Plan, build, Coordination, Implementation, Test, Documentation.
