Microsoft Intune – Endpoint management directly from Microsoft 365
Centrally control devices, apps, and access – across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, based on Zero Trust principles. We plan, implement, and support your Intune environment, including seamless Apple integration.
1
All endpoints. One cloud platform.
Microsoft Intune is Microsoft's cloud-based Unified Endpoint Management platform. Windows clients, Macs, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and Linux clients are registered, configured, and secured via a single interface – eliminating the need for separate tools for each platform.
The greatest advantage lies in integration: Intune is part of Microsoft 365 and works directly with Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, and Microsoft Defender. If you use Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3 and higher (E5, E7), you typically already have Intune licensed – a point often overlooked in practice.
We will review your existing licenses with you and build an environment that is cleanly structured from day one.

Zero Trust: verify first, grant access later
Intune is most effective where device management and access control work together. Every device reports its status to Entra ID – only when it meets the defined compliance rules does the user gain access to their mailbox, SharePoint, or business applications. An encrypted, up-to-date, and policy-compliant device becomes a requirement, not just a recommendation.
- Compliance Policies – automate checks for encryption, OS versions, and password rules
- Conditional Access – link access to corporate data to verified device status
- App Protection Policies – protect corporate data on personal devices without managing the device itself
- Update Rings – roll out Windows and driver updates in staged, controlled waves
- Defender Integration – incorporate risk assessments from the security platform into access decisions
- Endpoint Privilege Management – standard users work without local admin rights, while approved tasks remain possible

Intune in action – features at a glance
From automated initial setup to secure decommissioning, Intune covers the entire lifecycle of a device. New hardware is delivered pre-configured, and existing devices are integrated step-by-step.
- Windows Autopilot – new devices go directly to the employee, set up upon first startup
- Apple Business – automated device enrollment and app assignment via Volume Purchasing
- Android Enterprise & Zero-Touch – Work profiles for BYOD and fully managed devices for corporate hardware
- App distribution – Centrally assign, update, and remove store apps, web apps, and custom packages
- Configuration profiles – Deploy Wi-Fi, VPN, certificates, and restrictions without user interaction
- Remote Help – Secure remote support directly from the console
- Cloud PKI – Certificate management without the need for your own PKI infrastructure
- Co-management with Configuration Manager – Gradually transition existing on-premises environments to the cloud
- Advanced Analytics – Device queries and reporting across your entire fleet

Apple with Intune – and when Jamf is the better choice
Intune manages Macs, iPhones, and iPads reliably and is the obvious solution for many Microsoft-centric organizations. However, for more advanced Apple requirements, the platform reaches its limits sooner than an Apple-specialized solution.
We will be transparent about where those limits lie – and in mixed environments, we often deploy both tools side-by-side: Intune for Windows and access control, and Jamf for your Apple fleet, connected via Entra ID.

Implementation & Operations by Denkform – from start to finish
An Intune environment is quick to set up but difficult to fix if the foundation isn't right. We build it from the ground up to ensure it scales with your needs.
- 01 – Analysis & License Check: We assess your device landscape, verify the coverage of your existing Microsoft 365 licenses, and define the target state.
- 02 – Setup & Configuration: We structure groups, policies, and configuration profiles, integrate Apple Business and Android Enterprise, and set up conditional access.
- 03 – Migration & Enrollment: Existing devices are transitioned gradually, while new hardware is deployed via Autopilot and automated device enrollment.
- 04 – Training & Ongoing Operations: We train your IT team, document the environment, and provide ongoing support for updates, expansions, and day-to-day questions.
- Intune alone – makes sense for a manageable number of Apple devices and a Microsoft-centric infrastructure
- Intune + Jamf – recommended if Apple devices are business-critical or deep macOS configuration is required
- Compliance integration – Jamf reports device status to Entra ID, while conditional access remains centralized
- Apple Business
- – the foundation for automated enrollment in both scenarios
- An honest assessment – we recommend the solution that fits your device landscape, not the more expensive one

Frequently asked questions
Ist Microsoft Intune in unserer Microsoft-365-Lizenz enthalten?
In vielen Fällen ja. Intune ist Bestandteil von Microsoft 365 E3 und E5 sowie von Business Premium. Ob Ihr Lizenzpaket den benötigten Funktionsumfang abdeckt oder Zusatzoptionen sinnvoll sind, prüfen wir vor der Einführung gemeinsam mit Ihnen.
Kann Intune auch Macs, iPhones und iPads verwalten?
Ja. Intune unterstützt macOS, iOS und iPadOS und lässt sich mit dem Apple Business Manager und dem Apple School Manager verbinden. Bei tiefergehenden Apple-Anforderungen empfehlen wir die Kombination mit Jamf – wir ordnen ein, was in Ihrem Fall trägt.
Können wir von einer bestehenden On-Premise-Verwaltung zu Intune wechseln?
Ja. Über das Co-Management mit dem Microsoft Configuration Manager lässt sich die Verwaltung schrittweise in die Cloud überführen, ohne dass der laufende Betrieb unterbrochen wird. Wir planen die Reihenfolge so, dass jederzeit ein Rückweg bleibt.
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Intune und Jamf?
Intune ist plattformübergreifend und in die Microsoft-Welt eingebettet, mit Stärken bei Windows und bei der Zugriffssteuerung über Entra ID. Jamf ist ausschließlich auf Apple spezialisiert und bietet dort den größeren Funktionsumfang. In gemischten Umgebungen lassen sich beide sinnvoll kombinieren.
Wie lange dauert die Einführung von Microsoft Intune?
Das hängt von Gerätezahl, Standorten und Ausgangslage ab. Eine überschaubare Umgebung ist in wenigen Wochen produktiv, komplexe Migrationen mit Altbestand planen wir in Etappen. Nach der Analyse erhalten Sie einen belastbaren Zeitplan.
