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

The Journey to Microsoft 365 and Beyond!

As we hit mid-August, it's a good time to take stock of our team's progress. We're excited to highlight our recent achievements, which have revolved around two significant projects that directly benefit our valued clients.

 

The first project involved a laptop overhaul using Microsoft Intune. We successfully rebuilt 150 laptops, stepping up from Chromebook devices. This wasn't just a swap; it was an upgrade that empowers our clients with better tools. With Intune, we've made sure these laptops are more secure and efficient. Plus, it's led to a wider adoption of Microsoft 365, giving our clients a boost in productivity and collaboration.

 

The second major initiative was a larger refresh, we have simplified our clients approach by focusing on cloud-based identity (AzureAD) and device management (Intune), leaving behind the hybrid approach. This has led to a smoother operation overall, aligning the organisation better with modern trends.

 

At the core of this transformation was our rollout of Microsoft Intune. We've set up a solid management platform, improving both security and performance. Combining this with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has created a stronger Defense against cyber threats.

 

We also streamlined the application setup to ensure users can access the tools they need with ease. The onboarding process for 350 devices and subsequent rebuilds displayed our commitment to detail, with the clients financial resources committed elsewhere, this was a rebuild, and in some cases the hardware was approaching its end of use. We have made extensive improvement here and taken advantage of driver management within Microsoft Intune, now all devices are running the same version of Windows and running the latest supported drivers.

 

Thanks to these efforts, we've delivered a revamped environment for our clients. Devices now run on Windows 11, managed through Intune. And with Office 365 apps for enterprise, along with smart data handling using OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, collaboration and productivity have taken off.

 

Not forgetting communication, we've integrated Microsoft Teams direct routing for both of these clients in the last 3 months! This means smoother enterprise-level voice communication, making teamwork even more effective.

 

When we look at these achievements, it's not just about projects completed; it's about delivering real value to our clients. Our focus on innovation, security, and enhancing user experiences is what sets us apart. The future holds more exciting possibilities, and we're thrilled to lead the charge.

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.
