We’re working hard to finish 2018 strong with our upcoming Tsitsikamma release cycle, which includes new features along with our last native app update for the year.
This post details Part 1 of our release, as we decided to split this update across two separate releases.
See our Part 2 blog post for details on why this happened.
The name for this update refers to a beautiful national park found in our South African team’s backyard.

Changes outlined below will appear on the platform over the course of November through to January 2019.
Single Sign-On via Azure Active Directory and Ping Identity
Through a shared project with one of our customers, we’re adding support for single sign-on and user provisioning through Microsoft’s Azure AD and Ping Identity services.
These new integrations will join our existing Okta connector, broadening your options when using enterprise identity and directory services with Appenate.
Tasking Upgrades
We’re adding a new Task Map view to our Tasking area, providing a geographic overview of current Tasks that can be filtered by date, user and job type. We plan to iterate this feature over time based on your feedback.
