Last Updated: June 25, 2025

Every minute your support team spends switching between systems, it costs your organization – in productivity, service quality, and ultimately, revenue. With enterprise device management increasingly critical to operations, the gap between your MS Intune and help desk system isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s impacting your bottom line.

The Business Case for Unified Device Management

When assessing the impact of disconnected device management and support systems, organizations face:

Operational Challenges

  • Multiple platform costs
  • Extensive training requirements
  • Redundant process management
  • Complex compliance tracking

Resource Drain

  • Support team time waste
  • Delayed issue resolution
  • Increased training needs
  • Inefficient resource allocation

Service Impact

  • Extended resolution times
  • User frustration
  • Inconsistent support quality
  • Limited visibility
