The growing diversity of devices available to your users makes it more difficult than ever for IT teams to manage and protect your digital estate. This article further explores the trend towards a growing device estate, providing advice and guidance on adopting Microsoft Intune within your business to support device management. The article also shares details of an upcoming Nviron webinar where we will further explore the benefits of Microsoft Intune.

A recent survey discovered that two-thirds of organisations used more than ten tools to manage their device estate. The latest Microsoft Intune Plan, "Microsoft Intune Suite", helps organisations to overcome these challenges. Microsoft Intune Suite unifies endpoint management and security solutions into one suite of tools, simplifying your endpoint management experiences, improving your security posture and removing the headache of using multiple tools.

Capabilities of Microsoft Intune suite

Microsoft Intune is an industry-leading, unified endpoint management solution your organisation can use to ensure your devices, operating systems, and apps are up-to-date, protected, and performing as expected. Below, we have broken down what we see as Intune's four key capabilities.

• Remote help – Enable your IT helpdesk teams to troubleshoot a user's desktop and mobile devices remotely based on their existing company identity.

• Endpoint privilege management – Give your users the correct privileges at the right time to reduce the security risk of overprivileged users and the burden on your help desk by allowing greater self-serve for basic scenarios.

• Advanced endpoint analytics – Data-driven insights that help IT administrators understand, anticipate, and improve the user experience for the staff in the organisation.

• Microsoft Tunnel for mobile app management – A micro-VPN that connects corporate resources from personal iOS/iPad and Android devices so employees can access company resources from their mobile devices when duty calls.
