Just need Intune licensing and a clean tenant build? We do that.
Some IT teams already know they want Intune and just need a partner to handle licensing, tenant configuration, and rollout — without a full managed-service contract. We'll license Plan 1 or Plan 2 (mixed where it makes sense), build the configuration, deploy enrollment, and hand the console to your team to self-operate.
- Microsoft partner pricing on Plan 1, Plan 2, and bundled licenses (M365 BP, E3, E5)
- Tenant build: enrollment profiles, conditional access, compliance baselines, app deployment policies, RBAC
- Phased agent enrollment across the fleet with rollback plan and pilot validation
- Knowledge transfer session + runbook handoff so your team can self-operate from day one
- Optional tier-3 escalation retainer if you want senior backup without the full managed model
