With Okta’s Canada Cell now live, Canadian financial, healthcare, and public sectors face intensifying pressure from OSFI B-13, PIPEDA, and Law 25 to localize their identity stack. Yet, migrating cell-to-cell blindly copies years of messy, drifted configurations and traditionally demands a high-risk, 3-to-6-month manual engineering slog.
Join Okta, Backupta, and BeyondID to learn how to execute a clean, compliant residency transition. Discover how BeyondID’s Okta Tenant Health Check baseline prevents transferring legacy technical debt, how Okta’s regionalized infrastructure guarantees platform uptime, and how Backupta automates the 4-phase move securely with a 100% reversible, one-click rollback. Plus, learn how to leverage an exclusive Fast Track program to deploy immediately at zero cost through 2026 and experience the benefits of modern identity resilience.
What You’ll Learn:
1. Step Zero, The BeyondID Tenant Health Check: Learn why auditing your current tenant is critical to map hidden app dependencies, flag orphaned groups, and clear out configuration drift so you don't migrate legacy clutter.
2. Native Okta Cell Architecture: Understand how Okta supports inside the new Canadian borders, including regional infrastructure failover, platform service availability, and complementary Enhanced Disaster Recovery (DR) features.
3. Automated & Reversible Migration + Lasting Resilience: Walkthrough the 4-phase migration flow: Plan, Strategize, Move Base, and Move Apps. See how a “warm” source tenant supports customer-initiated rollback if validation fails. Then explore how Backupta provides a modern safety net to strengthen your Okta tenant’s resilience.
4. Bypassing the Budget Block: See how Canadian organizations can leverage the Okta Canada Fast Track program to access free migration capabilities immediately, deferring commitment to 2027.
