The Shared Device Management (SDM) project is looking to revolutionise how devices are managed across the University. With many teams using tailored, local solutions, there's significant duplication and costs. This new service, built using Microsoft Intune, will create an efficient device management solution for IT teams in departments and faculties.
The service includes understanding the 'Device Management Lifecycle', providing necessary functionality, and ensuring appropriate permissions. Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based tool, has been chosen for its ability to manage and secure devices and apps across platforms. It offers benefits like consistent Single Sign-On (SSO) experience, data protection, simplified management, reduced IT workload, scalability, and cost reduction.
