What Is Intune and How Does it Work?

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based application that allows businesses to manage and secure their employee’s cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other endpoint devices from a single console. This tool was specifically developed for modern companies embracing a hybrid or fully remote workforce. Intune helps administrators secure data, manage access, and support users from any location.

As a modern managed service provider, SBT Partners works with small to medium-sized businesses to help them leverage these tools and integrate their features across their organization.
