With the sudden switch to remote working, TPG were closing offices and working to onboard over 1000 employees to the new reality of remote working. Using Microsoft Endpoint Manager and InTune allowed their existing tech team to pick, pack and ship identical laptop devices with a standard off-the-shelf operating environment at a breakneck pace. And the whole process was designed to minimise disruption to their operation, with each employee able to switch to the same profile on their new device in a matter of minutes.
“In the old days we would have been booking people in to visit our tech team in person and stand by while we moved their data across and configured their device,” says Mark. “Not only would this have taken months longer compared with a modern management approach, it was logistically impossible to perform with the new COVID restrictions in force.”
Mark’s conservative estimate of 15 minutes to build and image each device adds up to more than 250 hours of work saved. Not only did this enable TPG to have their remote employees on the tools faster, it also freed up resources needed to support the workforce to make the best of Teams for communication and collaboration.
“Because we didn’t have many people dedicated to doing builds, we could divert people to post-migration support roles,” says Mark. “We were able to run the migration with a lean project team and focus on communications rather than the device building and logistics. It also gave us the capacity to handle customisations for edge cases within the Microsoft 365 OS. With InTune we could implement these exceptions on demand and deliver a far more responsive support service to our customers. And of course, we were able to enhance security using conditional access within 365 without impacting the customer experience.”
