The challenge: Scaling Intune across customer environments
Managed service providers (MSPs) of all sizes are under pressure to manage an expanding portfolio of customer environments efficiently, securely, and profitably. Historically, MSPs have had to choose between building custom multi-tenant tooling or relying on third-party platforms that lack deep Microsoft integration. As client expectations rise and competitive pricing pressures intensify, MSPs need solutions that help them deliver more value from the Microsoft 365 investments their customers already have—investments that already include Microsoft Intune—without fragmenting data or security outside Microsoft's ecosystem.
Managing multiple tenants often means duplicating routine processes, reconciling policy inconsistencies, and navigating separate management portals. MSPs need centralized oversight across all tenants without sacrificing security, compliance, or operational efficiency. Microsoft Intune is the answer—and the right partner solutions make it scale.
The solution: Microsoft Intune, extended by validated partners
In September, we announced our collaboration with two leading multi-tenant management providers—inforcer and Nerdio—and the response was remarkable. The program, which we call #IntuneForMSPs, has exceeded our expectations. We heard strong positive feedback from MSPs and enterprises at events around the world and across social media, from organizations that have long needed a better way to manage multiple tenants at scale.
Today, we're excited to announce three additional validated partners joining the #IntuneForMSPs ecosystem. Each has been validated against Microsoft's product and business requirements, enabling MSPs to scale efficiently, standardize operations, and deliver more secure, Intune-aligned experiences to their customers.
Momentum in the MSP market
Over the past year, we've seen strong momentum across the MSP market—through global events, partner sessions, and #IntuneForMSPs meetups. One message has been consistent across all of these conversations:
MSPs want Intune-aligned solutions that respect Microsoft's security model, tenant boundaries, and licensing investments.
At recent in-person and virtual events, the energy around this shift has been clear. MSPs are actively moving away from traditional RMM-centric approaches toward models where Microsoft Intune serves as the control plane for device management, security, and compliance. That shift is what makes today's announcement particularly meaningful.
Welcoming three new #IntuneForMSPs partners
We're pleased to welcome three new validated partners to the #IntuneForMSPs ecosystem. Each offers independent, complementary capabilities built on top of and alongside the Microsoft Intune platform—preserving their unique workflows and features while extending what Intune can do for MSPs at scale. Partners are presented in alphabetical order; the descriptions below were provided by each partner.
