Intune: every laptop and phone centrally managed

Does your team work on different laptops and phones, at home and on the road too? Then you want a grip on those devices, without chasing each one individually. That is exactly what Microsoft Intune does. In this article you read what it is and what it delivers. Intune is a core part of a modern workspace; that is where this piece fits.

What is Microsoft Intune?

Intune is the service within Microsoft 365 with which you centrally manage all your organisation's devices: laptops, pcs, phones and tablets. From one environment you set how devices must be secured, roll out settings and updates, and keep an eye on what is happening. So you no longer have to set up each device separately.

What can you arrange with Intune?

The main things you manage centrally:

• Enforce security settings, such as a mandatory pin code or disk encryption.
• Roll out apps and updates to all devices at once.
• Remotely wipe a lost or stolen device, so your data is not out on the street.
• Let new laptops set themselves up, so a new colleague is productive quickly.

Why is central device management important?

Because your data is increasingly stored outside the office. Without central management you have no view of whether devices are up to date and secure, and you can do nothing if they are lost. With Intune you keep a grip, even if everyone works from their own place. That is not only convenient, but also a building block for your security and for NIS2.

Is Intune already in my Microsoft 365?

That depends on your licence. Intune is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium and the Enterprise packages, but not in the entry-level packages. Not sure which licence you have or need? Then read which Microsoft 365 licence suits you.
