Brad Anderson, corporate vice president of the Commercial Management Experiences team within Microsoft’s Experiences & Devices Group.Īnderson had long resisted name changes. Corporate vice president for Microsoft 365 Brad Anderson explained the decision to TechRepublic. Renaming their shared platform Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) is part of clearing up confusion and reassuring customers that when Intune gets a new feature, that’s not a step closer to killing off Config Manager and pushing everyone to the cloud. To customers, though, they’ve been completely different things. To Microsoft, System Center Configuration Manager and Intune are the same thing: ways of managing the PCs and servers and other devices in your organisation that use the cloud and Config Manager to deliver a ‘modern’ management experience that makes both IT and users happy, with secure PCs that start faster, last longer and crash less.
