Manage PCs, Servers, and Mobile Devices - All from a Single Management Console

Within any organization there is the struggle of trying to maintain an army of devices. With the constant uphill battle of updates and app deployments for these devices and with the increasing demand to support bring-you-own-device it is hard to find the right balance. While you want employees to be able to choose the devices they use you should make sure they have access to tools needed to be productive and meet your organization’s data protection and security requirements. This can cause an enormous headache and take up much of your IT team’s time that would could be better used creating value elsewhere. With Microsoft’s System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Intune those headaches are a thing of the past, whether a PC or mobile device, through one admin console. SCCM and Intune work together in two key categories to limit the IT burden of device management:

Enable Users SCCM

Enable Users


The first key area is that SCCM allows users to take over some of the responsibilities that are normally tasked to IT. Your IT team no longer has to handle every little request for application access or provisioning as SCCM and Intune gives the ability to enable your users.

  • Application Self-Service Universally: Users can install applications from your company’s portal across all their devices and on any platform.
  • Automatic Access Configuration: Automatic VPN, Wi-Fi, email profiles, certificate distribution, and authentication settings can be pushed to devices, which gives end users ability access to your company resources quickly.

Unify and Simplify IT Administration

With the integration between Configuration Manager and Intune you can streamline operations and manage a wide range of platforms and devices all from within a single interface.


Unified Device ManagementUnified Device Management

When combining SCCM and Intune you are able to easily manage Windows PCs and servers, Macs, and Linux/Unix servers as well as mobile devices such as those running Windows, iOS, and Android all through a single admin console. Whether you want to have them be managed through the cloud or on-premises you can tailor your device management to what fits your organization best.
