Empowering UK Government with Microsoft 365, Intune, and Defender for Server

Driving Value From Existing Investment - A Roaring Success


In the fast-paced realm of IT solutions and government technology, as we continue to look back, the month of August was filled with dynamic challenges and rewarding opportunities for us. In this post we focus on the transformative journey we have been taking with one of our esteemed UK government clients, who approached us with a multifaceted request. Their mission: to streamline their operations, enhance mobile device management, and fortify their server security. 


Firstly,
"Transition us from VMware Airwatch to Microsoft Intune"


Our journey began when our client presented us with the task of transitioning their extensive mobile phone fleet. With over 3,000 devices to manage, the challenge was as substantial as it was exciting. The goal was to migrate from VMware Airwatch to Microsoft Intune seamlessly, ensuring enhanced mobile device management, security, and productivity for their workforce.


Secondly,
"Prove that we can move to Defender for Server and replace Sophos"


As we delved deeper into the client's needs, another pivotal request emerged - the migration strategy for adopting Microsoft Defender for Server, replacing their existing security solution, Sophos. The importance of this transition was clear: bolstering server security to safeguard critical data and ensure compliance with modern security standards.


Our Commitment, Delivering Excellence


Upon receiving this challenge, we responded with unwavering enthusiasm and a resounding "Yes." We knew that this undertaking required a comprehensive strategy, meticulous planning, and the dedication to deliver a flawless transition.


Our Approach: Precision, Expertise, and a Seamless Transition


We approached this multifaceted project with a three-fold strategy:


Meticulous Planning: Our experts conducted an in-depth assessment of the client's existing environment, understanding their unique requirements, and identifying potential challenges. 


Customized Solutions: We tailored our solutions to align perfectly with the client's objectives. This included devising a detailed migration plan for Intune and creating a step-by-step roadmap for transitioning to Microsoft Defender for Server.


Seamless Execution: With our strategy in place, our team worked tirelessly to execute each phase of the project flawlessly. From migrating mobile devices to configuring and optimising Defender for Server, our mission was to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.


A Month of Achievements


As we reflect on the month of August, it fills us with pride to have achieved significant milestones in collaboration with our clients. Our commitment to excellence, our dedication to providing tailored solutions, and our passion for pushing the boundaries of what's possible in IT have all been on full display.


If you are looking to do more with less, want to turn the impossible in to an outcome we would love to hear from you. Less reduce cost and administrative burden together!!

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.
