However if your organization uses Azure Active Directory and the Windows 10 devices are managed using Azure AD then you can leverage Windows Business Store and push applications from Windows Business Store. Scalefusion integrates with Windows Business Store and allows IT Admins to sync the application inventory and install them to managed Windows 10 devices. In this document we would see how to integrate Windows Business Store in Scalefusion and deploy applications. Windows Business Store is only supported for Azure AD based deployments and require you to have an Azure AD P2/E2 license. ### Prerequisites 1. Sign in to Scalefusion using [Office 365/Azure AD](/docs/migration-to-azure-ad-office-365-based-dashboard-sign-in) 2.
