And how it can help your business run smarter

As a business owner, you don’t need another overly technical tool on your plate—you need practical solutions that just work. That’s where Microsoft Intune comes in.

At Takala Technology, we’ve simplified this guide to help you understand what Intune does and why it matters—no IT jargon needed.

What Is Microsoft Intune?

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based tool that helps manage your team’s devices and access to company data.

In plain English:

  • It helps you control who can access what

  • It keeps devices secure and up to date—automatically

  • It’s part of Microsoft 365, which you may already be using

Why Should You Care?

Here are five big reasons businesses use Intune:

1. Easy Setup for New Devices

Send a laptop to a new hire and have it auto-configure with the apps, settings, and security they need—no IT visit required.

2. Built-in Security and Policy Management

Need to update a security setting across the company? Do it once in Intune—every device gets the update instantly.

3. Smooth Integration with Microsoft 365

Intune works seamlessly with other Microsoft tools like Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive. If you’re already using M365, you’re halfway there.

4. Mobile Device Protection

Let employees work from their phones or personal laptops—safely. Intune works with tools like Microsoft Defender to protect data on mobile devices too.

5. Smart Access Controls

Not everyone needs access to everything. With Intune, you can easily decide who can see or edit specific files—plus set up rules like blocking logins at 2am or from overseas.

Bottom line: Intune helps you secure, streamline, and scale your business’s IT—without requiring a degree in cybersecurity.
