Office 365 – Windows Intune Administration Guide
Matthew Katzer, Don Crawford · Apress eBooks · 2013
Office 365 is a suite of technologies delivered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. Office 365 reduces the IT costs for businesses of any size and significantly reduces the need for an IT professional to manage the Office 365 services. Windows Intune is a desktop management SaaS offering, which complements Office 365. Office 365 deployments work better when Windows Intune is deployed for desktop and mobile device management. The change in desktop management has moved from device-centric management to user management (see Figure 7-1). Microsoft extended this management into Microsoft Systems Center and the standardization of a five (5) user licenses model for Windows Intune and Office 365 subscription services. Users can bring their own devices to Office 365, and have those devices managed by Windows Intune.
