Solve BYOD Nightmares with Intune: Webinar Recap & Replay

On Wednesday we hosted a webinar that covered how and why Windows Intune can be a great solution to address growing concerns driven by the current trend towards Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work.  Steve Andrews, a senior solutions architect in Perficient’s Microsoft infrastructure practice talked about the challenges many companies face today, often with remote workers in many locations, with unique PC configurations and mobile devices that needs to be managed.
Steve kicked off his presentation with some polling questions to better understand the audience and where they were in their BYOD management journey.  55% of those in attendance said that their top BYOD concern was remote device management & administration, followed by 13% sharing that software and licensing management was their top concern.  Steve went on to share key trends, including how one user to one desktop is no longer the norm, and that just a year or so ago power users had between 5 and 7 internet connected devices.  In addition security can be compromised on these unmanaged devices and mixed devices also come with high infrastructure management costs.  Not to mention a lack of control of application deployment on these devices.
Steve then went into an overview of Windows Intune and its cloud and on-premise capabilities to address PC and mobile device management needs. Steve shared how you can empower users to work from anywhere, anytime, with any device, using the tools they need while retaining the ability to remotely manage those devices, allowing for greater productivity, better security and mobility.  Not to mention regular updates and release cycles with additional features planned that don’t require costly deployments.  There was a lively question and answer session post webinar with many questions about the different types of devices that can be managed and what features are planned in future Intune updates.
