From Israeli Innovation to Global Marketplace: How DEX Helped Bring Comda’s CCMS to Microsoft Azure

Every day, organizations lose critical time, money, and trust to a problem that sounds small but rarely is: an expired digital certificate. An SSL certificate lapses unnoticed, a website goes dark, an enterprise application stops authenticating, and what should have been a routine renewal turns into a costly outage and a reputational headache. It’s one of the most common – and most preventable – causes of downtime in the enterprise world.

Comda, a veteran Israeli leader in identity security and digital certification, built its flagship CCMS platform (alongside CERTM, its SSL certificate management solution) to solve exactly this problem: giving organizations a single command center to issue, monitor, and manage every digital certificate and identity credential across their workforce and systems – before a lapse ever becomes an outage.

We’re proud to share that this technology has now taken a major step onto the global stage: CCMS is officially live on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

Why This Matters

Landing on Azure Marketplace isn’t just a distribution milestone – it’s a stamp of technical validation from Microsoft itself. It signals that a solution has met Microsoft’s bar for architecture, security, and integration quality, and it’s the kind of recognition that matters enormously to enterprise buyers evaluating vendors at scale.

For Comda, it means their identity and certificate management platform is now discoverable, procurable, and deployable by organizations anywhere in the world – with native, out-of-the-box integration into Microsoft Entra ID, the identity backbone that enterprises already run on. What used to be a multi-month onboarding and integration project can now happen in days, for organizations of any size, from fast-growing businesses to the largest global enterprises.

As Comda Group CEO Zeev Shetach put it: the move to Azure Marketplace, achieved in close collaboration with Microsoft and DEX, is a defining step in Comda’s evolution into a global information security company – proof that Israeli-built technology is ready for the world’s most demanding enterprise security requirements.

DEX’s Role: Turning Great Technology into a Marketplace-Ready Product

This is precisely the kind of transformation our Digital Native & ISV Practice exists to drive.

As a Microsoft Tier 1 Cloud Solution Provider and Managed Service Provider, DEX works alongside Israeli software vendors and digital-native companies to turn strong, battle-tested technology into cloud-native, Marketplace-ready, co-sell-eligible Microsoft solutions. That journey touches far more than a listing page – it means architecting for Azure at scale, aligning with Microsoft’s technical and security validation requirements, wiring up billing and consumption models through the CSP program, and building the kind of native integration with the Microsoft ecosystem (in this case, Microsoft Entra ID) that makes adoption frictionless for enterprise customers.

Throughout the process, our team worked hand-in-hand with both Comda and Microsoft – from technical readiness through go-to-market – to make sure the platform didn’t just reach Azure Marketplace, but arrived there in a form that global enterprises could trust and deploy with confidence.

A Model for Israel’s Next Wave of ISVs

Comda’s journey to Azure Marketplace is a strong example of what’s possible when deep product expertise meets the right cloud and partner infrastructure. It’s a story we expect to keep telling: Israeli ISVs and digital-native companies building category-defining technology, and DEX helping them scale that technology onto Microsoft’s global platform – with the security, compliance, and enterprise readiness that Microsoft customers demand.

If you’re an ISV or digital-native company looking to bring your solution to Azure Marketplace, achieve co-sell readiness with Microsoft, or scale your CSP billing and go-to-market motion, DEX’s Digital Native & ISV Practice is built exactly for that journey.

Congratulations to the entire Comda team on this milestone – we’re proud to have been part of the journey.
