Today I'm sharing a quick list of technical resources and upcoming live events that you may find valuable in increasing your knowledge and skills around Microsoft Endpoint Manager, a unified endpoint management platform including Microsoft Intune and Configuration Manager.
Endpoint Manager provides transformative cloud management and security that meets your organization where you are and helps you move to the cloud at your own pace. What makes this innovation in Endpoint Manager possible is the native integration with Configuration Manager to cloud attach your Windows 11 devices. For example, you can continue to use Configuration Manager for managing Windows, and seamlessly add Microsoft Intune management without necessarily migrating.
