Microsoft Managed Desktop Readiness: 4-Wk Assessment

Traditional technology infrastructure is often loosely connected, relatively fragmented, and unnecessarily complex making them difficult, labour-intensive, and therefore costly to maintain and update. These issues can be addressed by taking strategic control of your modernisation journey with end-to-end device management and security monitoring. It allows organisations to focus on digital transformation while keeping everyone productive, secure, and up to date. Not all organisations are in an MMD ready state. There are a number of prerequisites that are required before MMD can be successfully deployed. This assessment will give your organisation the confidence that all the required elements of the successful deployment are both understood and associated remediation activities to fill these gaps defined. We will complete a 4-week assessment of the customers environment that involves the execution of the MMD Readiness Checker and additional analysis of: • Policy Scoping • Conditional Access • Store for Business • Multi Factor Authentication • Security Baselines • Windows Hello for Business • Enterprise State Roaming • Device Compliance • Intune Enrolment • OneDrive for Business Sync Rules • PowerShell Scripts • Security Admin Roles • Self Service Password Reset Scoping • Windows Update Ring Exclusions for MMD
• Public key infrastructure (PKI) • An assessment of the application portfolio

This offer is designed to help organisations that need specific expertise and guidance on how to approach their modernisation journey of end-to-end device management and security monitoring. Specifically, customers who should complete a Microsoft Managed Desktop (MMD) Readiness Assessment include: • Organizations looking to modernize their desktop environment and take advantage of the benefits of MMD, such as increased security, improved productivity, and reduced IT management costs. • Companies with outdated or inefficient desktop infrastructure that are looking for a more streamlined and manageable solution. • Businesses that are looking to reduce the complexity and cost of managing multiple desktop devices and operating systems. • Enterprises that have a dispersed workforce and need a solution that provides secure and seamless access to applications and data from anywhere, on any device. • Organizations that have specific security or compliance requirements and need a solution that meets their specific needs. • Companies that are looking for a solution that simplifies software upgrades, device replacements, and end-user support.

This includes suggestions on how to use Microsoft 365 more efficiently, as well as recommendations on how to improve security and compliance.
