As a leading co-working space provider, we pride ourselves on creating dynamic workspaces for startups, freelancers, and enterprises. Our flexible office solutions enable seamless collaboration, but as our business grew, so did our IT challenges. Managing devices, securing data, and ensuring a smooth onboarding experience for employees and members became increasingly complex. We needed a solution that would simplify device management while maintaining the high security standards our clients expect.
The Challenges We Faced
Before implementing Microsoft Intune and Autopilot, our IT team struggled with:
- Cumbersome Device Setup: Manually configuring and deploying devices consumed valuable IT resources and slowed down onboarding.
