## Where their work shows up

Dingle's standards and interoperability work sits behind [Microsoft Entra](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/iam/microsoft-entra/)'s support for [OpenID Connect](https://startwithidentity.com/standards/openid-connect/) and [SCIM](https://startwithidentity.com/standards/scim-2-0/), and interoperability across vendors is what makes [SSO](https://startwithidentity.com/glossary/sso/) and [provisioning](https://startwithidentity.com/glossary/provisioning/) portable rather than proprietary.
