Claude Enterprise deployments across two organizations
Deployed governed, SSO-gated Claude across two organizations, 58 seats total, then turned the work into a six-document rollout playbook with two security postures, so the next deployment is a process, not a project.
Challenge
Two organizations wanted their teams on enterprise AI without opening a security or governance gap. That meant single sign-on, automatic provisioning, controlled usage tiers, locked-down connectors, and admin documentation, all done fast enough that the rollout did not stall before anyone logged in.
Approach
Deployed Claude across both orgs with opposite security postures. One was a 40-seat rollout on Azure AD with SCIM auto-provisioning, spend tiers, and connector scoping, run open so the team could explore. The other was an 18-seat rollout on JumpCloud SAML run locked down: invite links off, agent surfaces off, sharing off, an admin-managed plugin catalog, and just-in-time provisioning. Both shipped with admin runbooks and staff comms so the internal owners run it without us. Then we codified the whole thing into a six-document playbook covering both postures, from SOW to sign-off.
Result
- 58 users on governed, SSO-gated AI
- ~1 day of configuration work per rollout
- 2 security postures, one repeatable playbook
Details
The fast part is signing people up. The part that lasts is the governance underneath it: SSO so access follows the directory, SCIM or just-in-time provisioning so seats create and revoke themselves, usage tiers so spend stays predictable, and connectors scoped to what each team actually needs. The reference deployment took seven hours of configuration work, start to live.
The bigger outcome is the playbook. Because the two orgs needed opposite postures (one open for exploration, one hardened for a security-first environment), the work produced a template set that covers both: statement of work, kickoff outcomes, end-user guide, admin procedures, staff comms, and sign-off. A third rollout is in progress on the same playbook. That is what turns “we set up your AI” into a service a business can actually buy.
