Delivering for Our Clients: A Productive August with Two Key Projects...In the M365 Space

The Journey to Microsoft 365 and Beyond!

As we reach mid-August, our team is proud to reflect on a series of impactful technology upgrades that have delivered measurable value for our clients.


Modernising Device Management with Microsoft Intune


Our first major project involved transforming the end-user experience by migrating 150 devices from Chromebooks to Windows laptops, fully managed with Microsoft Intune. This upgrade was more than a hardware refresh-it empowered users with enhanced security, streamlined management, and seamless access to Microsoft 365 apps. With Intune, we centralised device management, enabling secure provisioning, automated policy deployment, and simplified updates, regardless of user location. This shift has driven wider Microsoft 365 adoption, boosting productivity and collaboration across teams.


Embracing Cloud-First Identity and Security


The second initiative focused on simplifying IT operations by moving away from a hybrid environment to a cloud-based approach using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Intune. This transition unified identity and device management, reducing complexity and aligning with industry best practices for cloud-first organisations. Our rollout of Microsoft Intune provided a robust platform for managing security policies, device compliance, and application delivery from a single console.


Enhanced Security with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint


Security was a top priority throughout these projects. By integrating Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with Intune, we established advanced threat protection and real-time monitoring, ensuring that only compliant, secure devices can access corporate resources. This proactive approach helps defend against evolving cyber threats and supports regulatory compliance.


Efficient Application Deployment and Device Standardisation


We streamlined application setup and onboarding for over 350 devices, ensuring users have quick access to the tools they need. Leveraging Intune’s driver management and Windows Autopatch, all devices now run the latest version of Windows with up-to-date drivers, reducing support overhead and improving reliability. This standardisation ensures consistent performance and a better end-user experience.


Empowering Collaboration and Communication



With devices now running Windows 11 and managed through Intune, clients benefit from the full suite of Office 365 enterprise apps, including OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. We also implemented Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, enabling enterprise-grade voice communication and further enhancing collaboration.


Delivering Real Value and Looking Ahead


These projects are more than technical milestones-they represent our commitment to delivering secure, modern, and efficient IT environments that drive business success. Our focus on innovation, security, and user experience sets us apart, and we’re excited to continue leading our clients into the future of work.

December 16, 2024
At INTEGY, we’re passionate about enabling organisations to embrace the future of work, especially when innovation and agility are at the heart of their mission. Recently, we had the privilege of supporting a client whose business serves as a launchpad for startups, providing the technology and equipment needed to kickstart their journey.  The Challenge: Outdated IT for a Growing Organisation Our client’s IT infrastructure was a traditional setup, with user accounts and devices tightly bound to Active Directory. This configuration required devices to maintain network connectivity to on-premises servers, creating operational limitations. With the facility expanding to three separate locations, this approach no longer supported their need for flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. Startups thrive on speed and adaptability, and their IT systems needed to reflect those principles. The reliance on traditional IT was slowing them down, creating unnecessary overhead, and limiting their ability to provide the seamless experience their customers expected. The Solution: A Cloud-Native Transformation We transformed their IT environment into a modern, cloud-native setup: Entra ID for Identity Management Every device is now joined to Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), shifting identity management to the cloud. This eliminates the need for on-premises servers, offering secure access from anywhere. Intune for Device Management Devices are now managed through Microsoft Intune, enabling streamlined policy enforcement, application deployment, and security updates, all delivered from the cloud. Enhanced Security with Zero Trust Principles We implemented a Zero Trust security model, ensuring that devices and users are authenticated and compliant before accessing resources. Defender for Endpoint provides enhanced threat protection and visibility across their environment. Simplified User Experience By decoupling devices from on-premises dependencies, we empowered their users to work from any location with a secure, seamless experience. Scalability and Agility With their new cloud-native IT framework, our client is no longer constrained by physical infrastructure. They can now scale operations effortlessly as they open new locations and onboard new startups. The Results: Flexibility, Efficiency, and Growth The move to a cloud-native configuration has been a game-changer for our client. They’ve gained: Operational Efficiency : IT management is simpler and faster, reducing administrative overhead. Improved User Experience : Users now enjoy consistent and reliable access to systems, regardless of location. Scalability : Expansion to new sites no longer requires complex IT overhauls. Security : Advanced cloud security tools ensure their data and devices remain protected. By embracing modern IT, our client is better positioned to serve their customers and focus on what matters most: empowering innovation for startups. Helping You Move Forward If your organisation is grappling with the limitations of traditional IT and looking to make the leap to a cloud-native future, we’re here to help. Let’s transform your IT and unlock your potential.
