Intune allows us to manage all our devices from one location. The ability to manage all our devices from a single platform has significantly enhanced our security and IT operations. Previously, we relied on multiple applications, such as Ivanti and SCCM, to manage devices and security. Intune is easier to use than SCCM. As a SaaS application, its services are GUI-based, simplifying its overall complexity. We use Intune's advanced endpoint analytics to report the number of compliant devices, apply remediation, see the reasons for non-compliance, and track the number of BYOD devices. We can integrate third-party tools like ServiceNow if we need reporting or analytics that are unavailable through Intune. Copilot's integration with our teams and Outlook has streamlined our workflow. It simplifies tasks like drafting emails and creating Word documents or PowerPoint presentations by providing helpful suggestions. Additionally, Copilot's independent profile allows us to reference documents from our OneDrive and seamlessly incorporate them into our emails. We can even leverage Copilot to reference Intune and integrate it into our various cloud data. Although Copilot is still in its early stages, its potential is evident. As we continue to use it, it will gather more data and refine its capabilities, offering even more features and benefits to end-users. Currently, we primarily use Copilot for drafting emails, creating presentations, and similar tasks, but its future applications are promising. Intune helps protect data on both corporate-owned and BYOD devices in hybrid work environments. Devices can be registered through the company portal, and Intune can restrict their access to local storage, preventing unauthorized data downloads. The endpoint privilege management feature helps restrict users' access. For instance, if they are accessing Outlook, they should not be able to access their local drives, preventing them from uploading or downloading anything from their corporate email. This feature enables those types of security settings. Intune has significantly improved our productivity. Thanks to Intune and Autopilot, tasks that previously required four to five hours of IT effort can now be completed in just one hour. This translates to a 75 percent increase in IT productivity. Intune has significantly reduced costs from a resource perspective. Thanks to Autopilot, scripting, and automation within Intune, a junior person can now complete tasks that previously required two engineers. This efficiency has resulted in a 50 percent cost reduction. Intune has allowed us to consolidate other tools, such as SCCM and Jamf, reducing the need for additional licenses.
