Microsoft Intune adds three validated multi-tenant partners (AvePoint, CyberDrain CIPP, SoftwareCentral) to #IntuneForMSPs. Partners offer centralized automation, governance, monitoring, and scalable tenant management, helping MSPs standardize operations, preserve Microsoft security models, and deliver consistent Intune services across portfolios.
Announcing three new validated partners joining the #IntuneForMSPs ecosystem for multi-tenant management. This change standardizes multi-tenant operations and preserves Microsoft Intune as the control plane.
Main feature and impact
Microsoft validated three partners—AvePoint Confidence Platform, CyberDrain CIPP, and SoftwareCentral Tenant Manager—to extend Intune for MSPs. Validation enforces alignment with Microsoft security models, tenant boundaries, and licensing requirements. Partners provide centralized automation, policy standardization, and lifecycle controls that reduce custom tooling. The impact is reduced operational overhead, consistent security baselines, and faster, repeatable Intune deployment across multiple customer tenants.Practical implications
MSPs gain vendor-provided multi-tenant tooling that integrates with Intune without exporting tenant data. Expect centralized visibility, configuration drift detection, and automated remediation workflows across customer estates. Solutions include CIS-certified baselines, region-selectable Azure deployments, and marketplace availability. MSPs can standardize processes, lower script maintenance, and deliver compliant Intune services at scale while preserving tenant isolation and Microsoft licensing integrity.“MSPs want Intune-aligned solutions that respect Microsoft’s security model, tenant boundaries, and licensing investments.”These validated partners signal a shift from RMM-centric models to Intune-centric multi-tenant management. MSPs should evaluate each partner for fit, compliance, and automation capabilities. Next steps: review partner technical docs, test integrations in pilot tenants, and join #IntuneForMSPs meetups for ongoing guidance.
