Now, within Microsoft Intune, App Control for Business is generally available with granular targeting capabilities that finally make Managed Installer enterprise-ready. Instead of flipping the switch across your entire tenant, Intune now allows you to assign App Control policies to specific groups and device segments.
Horizon’s journey (from VMware to Broadcom, and now Omnissa) has prompted many IT leaders to pause and reassess. At the same time, Microsoft’s cloud-first desktop platforms, Entra ID and Windows 365 (W365), have matured quickly.
With more than 10,000 configurable settings, deep integration across Microsoft 365, Entra, Defender, and Windows, and a steady stream of new capabilities, Intune is a foundational platform for modern work. And that’s exactly why many IT teams feel overwhelmed trying to implement it on their own.
The MSP you choose in 2026 will shape far more than day-to-day IT operations. It will influence how securely your people work, how quickly your business can adapt, and how much value you actually get from the platforms you already own.
Cybersecurity is evolving, and Microsoft is taking a major step forward by including Security Copilot in the Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
For a growing number of businesses, that reassessment is leading to Microsoft Intune, as a platform that has finally reached the level of maturity required to migrate from Jamf to Intune in many environments.
The inclusion of these Intune Suite capabilities in E3 and E5 marks a clear shift in how Microsoft views the future of device management. Advanced functionality is no longer reserved for a handful of businesses, it’s becoming foundational.
When it comes to mobile device lifecycle management, one thing is always true: when the lifecycle is well managed, support, security, compliance, and the employee experience all get easier.
Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) now support external identities, allowing people outside your tenant to log into cloud PCs or virtual sessions using their own Microsoft Entra ID credentials.
The question isn’t whether MDM matters anymore, it’s how seamlessly it can plug into your existing IT infrastructure and strengthen everything around it.
