Unlocking Greater Value from Microsoft with Mobile Mentor 

 

When TD SYNNEX set out to evaluate the latest capabilities across Microsoft Intune, Security Copilot, Endpoint Privilege Management, and the broader Microsoft security ecosystem, they were not starting from scratch. 

As one of the world's leading technology distributors and solutions aggregators, TD SYNNEX already had a highly mature IT environment, strong automation practices, and a technically sophisticated team. What they wanted was a deeper understanding of how Microsoft's rapidly evolving endpoint, security, and AI technologies could create additional value across their environment. 

They partnered with Mobile Mentor to accelerate learning, validate assumptions, and explore practical applications for technologies that were becoming increasingly important to their future roadmap.

The Challenge 

TD SYNNEX had already invested heavily in endpoint management, automation, and security. Their teams understood their environment exceptionally well and had built mature processes around device management and operational efficiency. 

However, Microsoft's ecosystem was evolving quickly. 

New capabilities across Intune Suite, Security Copilot, Endpoint Privilege Management, Advanced Analytics, and AI-driven security workflows offered significant potential, but understanding how those tools fit together—and how they could be practically applied—was not always obvious. 

The team wanted: 

  • A deeper understanding of Intune Suite capabilities 

  • Practical guidance on Security Copilot and AI-powered security workflows 

  • Visibility into Advanced Analytics and KQL-based reporting 

  • Clarification on Endpoint Privilege Management 

  • Confidence in future Microsoft investment decisions 

The Microsoft ecosystem changes incredibly rapidly. Every day, change comes towards us faster and fasterMobile Mentor stepped in and, in some ways, helped us see the wood through the trees. They helped us see where we could really add value and what we really needed to take into account. “ 

Richard Stokes, VP of Service Operations

Rather than relying on product marketing or theoretical demonstrations, TD SYNNEX wanted practical expertise from consultants working with these technologies every day. 

The Solution: Microsoft Mentoring and Knowledge Transfer 

Mobile Mentor worked alongside TD SYNNEX through a series of workshops, demonstrations, technical discussions, and mentoring sessions focused on Microsoft's modern endpoint and security ecosystem. 

Over several months, Mobile Mentor's consultants provided hands-on guidance covering: 

  • Microsoft Intune Suite capabilities 

  • Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) 

  • Advanced Analytics 

  • Kusto Query Language (KQL) 

  • Microsoft Defender 

  • Security Copilot 

  • Mac management with Intune 

  • Integration across the broader Microsoft security stack 

The engagement was less about implementation and more about helping TD SYNNEX understand how these technologies could be used in practice. 

Through live demonstrations, real-world examples, and deep technical discussions, Mobile Mentor helped the team connect capabilities that previously felt disconnected or theoretical. 

One of the biggest breakthroughs was helping TD SYNNEX see Microsoft not as a collection of individual tools, but as an integrated ecosystem where Intune, Defender, Security Copilot, Advanced Analytics, and other services work together to deliver greater value. 

I definitely recommend Mobile Mentor. They bring clarity to a complex space and help you move faster with confidence.

The Impact 

The engagement provided TD SYNNEX with a clearer understanding of Microsoft's endpoint, security, and AI capabilities and how they could support future initiatives. 

As a result, the team gained: 

  • Greater confidence in Microsoft’s endpoint and security ecosystem 

  • A stronger understanding of Intune Suite capabilities 

  • Practical knowledge of Endpoint Privilege Management 

  • New skills in Advanced Analytics and KQL 

  • Increased awareness of Security Copilot use cases 

  • A clearer roadmap for future Microsoft investments 

  • Better visibility into how Microsoft’s technologies work together 

Perhaps most importantly, the engagement transformed several Microsoft capabilities from concepts that looked promising on paper into solutions the team could envision using in practice. 

The result was not simply knowledge transfer. It was a shift in confidence, understanding, and readiness for the next phase of Microsoft's security and AI evolution. 

Accelerating Innovation Through Expertise 

Even the most advanced organizations benefit from outside perspective. 

For TD SYNNEX, Mobile Mentor provided specialized expertise that helped accelerate learning, challenge assumptions, and uncover new opportunities within technologies they were already evaluating. 

The engagement demonstrated that successful modernization is not always about replacing existing systems. Sometimes it is about helping highly capable teams better understand emerging capabilities so they can make smarter decisions and move faster. 

By combining deep Microsoft expertise with practical field experience, Mobile Mentor helped TD SYNNEX gain greater clarity around endpoint management, security operations, analytics, and AI-powered workflows—positioning the organization to extract even more value from its Microsoft investments. 

Enterprise environments are complex, and Mobile Mentor helped us with any challenge we faced with their engagement. No matter the level of complexity, they were able to support us.
