ConnectWise Integration

Windows Intune

Microsoft Windows Intune

Windows Intune is the latest addition to the Microsoft® Online Services portfolio. The offering combines the delivery of client computer management and security as a cloud service with an upgrade license to the Windows® 7 Enterprise operating system on the client computer, rolled into a monthly subscription. Windows Intune cloud services deliver management and security capabilities through a single web-based console. The console enables IT personnel to monitor, manage, update, secure, and troubleshoot users' computers wherever they are located. A connection to the corporate network or virtual private network is no longer necessary. Windows Intune also provides asset inventory capabilities.

 

Microsoft Windows Intune

ConnectWise and Windows Intune are different, yet complementary systems. Leveraged correctly, they form an effective systems backbone for established and emerging IT service providers alike.

ConnectWise's business process automation, coupled with Windows Intune systems management automation, creates an integrated workflow that includes issue alerting (Windows Intune), tracking and escalation of these issues (ConnectWise), remediation work to fix the reported issues (Windows Intune), and billing for the work performed (ConnectWise).

When an anomalous event is detected in a customer's Windows Intune–monitored environment, an alert is generated in the Windows Intune management portal. A detailed email message can be sent automatically to an address that the ConnectWise Email Connector monitors. The email is converted to a ConnectWise service ticket.

A technician (usually an employee of the IT service provider) can log in to Windows Intune to remediate the alert situation and track the information from the ConnectWise service ticket. When the issue has been satisfactorily resolved using Windows Intune, the technician marks the ticket as complete within ConnectWise and clears the alert from the Windows Intune administrator console.
