March 25, 2024, by Philippe Paradis, Laura Martel

With hybrid work and mobility becoming major trends in today's organizations, effectively managing the technological infrastructure poses a significant challenge for IT teams. It's worth noting that nowadays, a large majority of the global workforce relies on three or more devices for work, alongside the ability to work from virtually anywhere and utilize a plethora of applications.

While these new setups offer users flexibility, they also greatly complicate IT work, especially concerning remote device management and data security.

In this context, Microsoft Intune emerges as a valuable tool for organizations seeking tighter control over various accesses to cloud services within the organization.

For this occasion, we've asked Philippe Paradis, a certified Microsoft solutions trainer, to explain briefly what Intune is and to present four compelling reasons to adopt the solution in your organization.

What is Intune?

Microsoft Intune is a solution for managing on-site and mobile devices, as well as cloud-based users. It manages user access to organizational resources and simplifies application management, configuration, and security across all your devices, whether they are mobile (e.g., iOS/iPadOS, Android), desktop (e.g., Windows 10/11, Linux, and MacOS), or virtual (e.g., Windows 365).

4 Reasons to Adopt Intune in Your Organization

1) Enhanced Security: Microsoft Intune enables robust mobile device management to secure your organization's devices, configure them according to security policies, and protect them against threats. With automatic threat detection and remediation, the risk of device vulnerabilities is significantly reduced.

2) Centralized Device Management: Intune's multi-platform device management allows administrators to deploy, update, and manage applications on all devices centrally. Regardless of the operating system (Windows, iOS/iPadOS, MacOS, Android, or Linux) or device location (on-site, internet, or in the cloud), device management is greatly facilitated, thereby improving operational efficiency.

3) Increased Flexibility and Productivity: Intune's mobile device management feature provides employees with secure access to organizational applications and data from any device. This provides control over data security without requiring device enrollment, while offering users an intuitive, flexible, and non-intrusive experience.

By generating recommendations based on a variety of metrics collected from devices, issues and slowdowns are limited, enabling proactive measures and productivity improvements.
