+#### ARC SaaS
+
+1. **Decoupled Provisioning**: To enhance customization and cater to diverse customer needs, we are decoupling the tenant application provisioning process from its build platform. This will allow users to choose their preferred build platform for executing the provisioning cycle. Users can seamlessly use platforms that comply with their organizational standards, ensuring a flexible and user-friendly provisioning experience.

+
+1. **Support for Multiple IDP**: We have integrated Auth0 as an identity provider for our SaaS application planes, alongside our existing Cognito support. We are using auth0 organizations to maintain isolation for different tiers. The first user for each tenant will be saved to Auth0, and also update the authentication service database accordingly to ensure seamless integration and user management. While creating plans admin can choose the IdP associated with that particular plan.
