We leveraged the power of Azure Active Directory\u00a0<\/span>(AAD)\u00a0<\/span>in our add-in, meaning we\u00a0<\/span>developed<\/span>\u00a0a solution that\u00a0<\/span>prefilled<\/span>\u00a0all users\u2019 information right from the start. In just a few clicks, our Office Add-in can\u00a0<\/span>deploy across multiple\u00a0<\/span>email\u00a0<\/span>platforms, such as Outlook on your desktop,\u00a0<\/span>Outlook on the web<\/span>, or on your\u00a0<\/span>mobile phone<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
