How your business can benefit from Microsoft Endpoint Manager As businesses move to support hybrid and remote workforces, managing devices and users is a fundamental task for IT teams as digital traffic continues to be an essential part of business operations. Employees need to collaborate, work from anywhere, and securely access and connect to their company’s resources. Yet without the proper tools and insights, this can become challenging for IT departments. What is Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM)? Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) is a cloud-based platform combining Intune and System Center Configuration Manager, and enables IT departments to configure and protect all endpoints in one place, preventing unauthorised users from accessing certain parts of a business network. It is essentially a combination of advanced features within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and its objective is to improve cybersecurity and speed up certain protocols. Source: Microsoft. Relationship between Endpoint Manager and Intune. The Benefits of Microsoft Endpoint Manager Centralised security With MEM, you can configure, update, monitor and if necessary, wipe devices on your network, all from a single panel. You can also manage access on personal devices by restricting actions and applications. Productivity efficiencies Achieve quicker time-to-value by performing network-wide rollouts of application installs and updates on all devices, changing security settings on all devices and performing network-wide inventories. Better employee experience Businesses can embrace the world of hybrid working as it is easier than ever before to give employees the freedom to work from anywhere, at any time and on any device. Modernise at your pace MEM allows you to be agile as it is easy to scale up and down in line with changes in the business. This ensures you benefit from tech at your pace with minimal risk.

You can deploy them to your user and device groups and the devices only need internet access. You can also block users and devices that fail.
