Migrating From Intune to Scalefusion? Here’s What You Need To Know

Adopting an MDM solution for your business is a massive task that requires careful planning. An even bigger task is migrating to a new MDM platform. Most businesses migrate to a new solution when their existing one cannot align with the organizational requirements. If you are someone who uses Microsoft Intune to manage your endpoints and looking to make a switch, this article is for you.

Intune is Microsoft’s enterprise mobility management (EMM) tool that simplifies app and device management for organizations and enables secure access to business resources and data. MS Intune is a strong and feature-rich MDM solution but is equally complex. Most businesses spend an enormous time in training and deployment of Intune.

MDM software lowers the administrative burden on the IT staff. A complicated platform that has a large learning curve defeats the purpose of the tool, which is simplicity. Several MS Intune users have been frequently seeking help in understanding the migration process to Scalefusion MDM.
