Most organizations now use an identity provider like Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Okta, OneLogin or Google Cloud Identity. These services have started to allow their users to upload an image of themselves.

Since the introduction of Xurrent’s support for the SCIM standard, it has become pretty much standard for new Xurrent customers to automatically maintain their people records in Xurrent through SCIM Provisioning).

What is new is that Xurrent’s SCIM support has been extended to also accept the images, or avatars, of people. That way, the pictures that people uploaded to their organization’s identity provider can be added automatically to their person record in Xurrent.
