Simplify Your Business Device Management with Microsoft Intune
In today's fast-paced world, managing and securing business devices and data is crucial. Whether you're a non-technical end user or a business decision maker, understanding the benefits of Microsoft Intune can help you make more informed decisions for your organisation.
What is Microsoft Intune?
So, what exactly is Microsoft Intune? In simple terms, it's a cloud-based service that helps us manage and secure the devices our teams use to access company data. The great news is, if we're using Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Intune is already included at no extra cost. Today, we'll cover how Intune helps with device management, application management, and security, and why that's beneficial.
Key Features
Imagine you're running a business with a team that's always on the move. Keeping their devices secure and ensuring they have access to the necessary tools can be a daunting task. This is where Microsoft Intune comes in. It simplifies device management by allowing employees to easily enrol their devices, ensuring they meet security requirements.
“This means every device accessing your business data is secure.”
One of the best parts is the zero-touch deployment. New devices can be set up and configured automatically without IT needing to manually handle each one. Just ship a device to an employee, and they’re ready to go. This is a game-changer for businesses with remote teams.
Application Management
With Intune, deploying and managing apps across all enrolled devices becomes a breeze. You can ensure everyone is using the latest version of your critical business apps. Even on personal devices, company data within apps is protected. If an employee leaves, you can remove company data without affecting their personal information.
Security
Security is a top priority for any business. Intune allows you to set conditions for accessing company resources. For example, only devices that comply with your security policies can access email or other sensitive data. Additionally, encryption and other measures safeguard company information. If a device is lost or stolen, you can remotely wipe it, rendering the device useless and protecting your data.
“Intune helps protect your business from data breaches and cyber threats by enforcing security policies and ensuring compliance across all devices. This significantly reduces the risk of costly security incidents.”
Benefits for your team
Now, let's talk about how this benefits your staff, especially your teams on the road. Intune simplifies the process of setting up and using devices. Employees can get their devices up and running quickly without needing extensive technical knowledge. This means less frustration and more time focusing on their work.
Employees can use their own devices securely, allowing them to work from anywhere, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This flexibility is crucial for our teams who are often travelling. With Intune, employees have a consistent and secure experience across all their devices, ensuring they can access the tools and information they need to be productive.
“As a cloud-based service included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Intune reduces the need for on-premises infrastructure and maintenance, leading to cost savings”
Microsoft Intune offers a comprehensive solution for managing and securing our business devices and data. It provides numerous benefits, making it an essential tool for any business looking to enhance its digital presence and improve productivity. By leveraging Intune, we can ensure our clients' businesses run smoothly, securely, and efficiently, no matter where their teams are. Reach out to learn more!
