Go from traditional to modern with Microsoft Endpoint Manager
How endpoint modernisation helps IT work smarter, not harder
Traditional on-premises device management has always been cumbersome and a drain on IT’s time. Today, a combination of device proliferation, the shift to the cloud, hybrid working arrangements and evolving security risks is making the entire process infinitely more complex, costly and labour-intensive.
For organisations seeking smoother, more efficient ways to manage devices without compromising security, Microsoft Endpoint Manager provides a flexible, unified alternative. Helping you work smarter, not harder.
By bringing together several familiar technologies – Intune, Configuration Manager, Co-management, Desktop Analytics, Windows Autopilot, Azure Active Directory (AD) and Endpoint Manager admin centre – Endpoint Manager allows IT to secure, deploy and manage all users, apps, and endpoint devices – no matter where users are located – through a single cloud-based platform.
Are you paying twice for endpoint management?
If you are using Microsoft 365 E3 or E5, you are already paying for Endpoint Manager as it comes bundled in your Microsoft 365 licenses. So, if you are using a third-party solution to deploy and manage your remote user devices, then switching to Endpoint Manager will save on software licences.
Endpoint Manager brings together the following platforms and services
Microsoft Intune – for cloud endpoint management
A one hundred percent cloud-based mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) solution for all your apps and devices.
Configuration Manager – for on-premises management
An on-premises management solution to manage desktops, servers, and laptops that are on your network, plus deploy apps, software updates, and operating systems.
Co-management – use Configuration Manager and Intune together
Concurrently manage devices using both Configuration Manager and Intune as you move from traditional mode, to a modern IT environment.
Windows Autopilot – to simplify the lifecycle of Windows devices
Autopilot simplifies the way you bulk deploy, reset, and repurpose devices, with an experience that is zero touch.
Azure AD – an identity and access management service in the cloud
Provides administrators with the ability to identity of devices, users, groups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Endpoint Manager Admin Centre – for a centralised administrative experience
The convergence of Intune, Configuration Manager and data creates a central portal for creating policies and managing your devices.
Desktop Analytics – delivering insights to help plan Windows feature upgrades
A cloud-based service using organisational and aggregated data from Microsoft’s cloud services to generate actionable insight and intelligence about the compatibility of Windows endpoints, applications and drivers.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager key benefits
1. Zero touch deployment
Forget the days of long device setup for hundreds of users. With Endpoint Manager, vendors ship direct to the end user. The user unboxes, signs in and the device self-configures, with any future updates automated.
2. Automated updates
Move on-premises device management to the cloud to enhance efficiency by automating routine IT processes such as provisioning, configuration management, and software updates.
3. Hybrid management options
Enable co-management to embrace the power and flexibility of modern endpoint tools, whilst retaining traditional corporate management for the users, devices and tasks that aren’t yet viable.
4. Strengthen endpoint security
Better protect devices against threats using Microsoft Zero Trust technology to help secure access, protect data, and respond to, manage and mitigate risk.
