Cloud-Native Patching Accelerator: MECM to Intune & Azure Arc

Modernize Your Endpoint & Server Security with Simplicity IT

Is your legacy MECM/WSUS infrastructure struggling to keep remote workers and distributed servers secure? Are VPN bottlenecks delaying critical security updates?

Simplicity IT's Cloud-Native Patching Accelerator is a comprehensive SaaS solution designed to modernize your entire patching ecosystem. We securely decouple both your client and server patching workloads from on-premises infrastructure and shift them to the Microsoft Cloud.

Attempting to transition endpoints to a pure "Entra ID Only" state without first modernizing your patching strategy can lead to orphaned devices, broken compliance reports, and severed security updates. Our proven, dual-track approach ensures a seamless transition for both workstations and servers, eliminating on-premises dependencies while keeping your enterprise secure.

What is Included?

This SaaS offer includes a free initial assessment, followed by a full-service migration for both clients and servers, and an ongoing subscription to our advanced compliance reporting engine:

• Free 30-Day Readiness Assessment: We perform a zero-cost, read-only discovery of your current MECM Automatic Deployment Rules (ADRs), maintenance windows, and Entra ID group structures to deliver a customized "Patching Risk Report."

• Client Track (Microsoft Intune): Expert setup of Windows Update for Business (WUfB) rings (Canary, Pilot, Production), Feature Updates, Quality Updates, and Driver profiles for Windows 10/11 devices.

• Server Track (Azure Arc & Update Manager): Onboarding of legacy on-premises servers to Azure Arc and configuration of Azure Update Manager to orchestrate server patching natively from the cloud.

• Pilot & Production Rollout: Guided co-management workload shifting for clients and maintenance schedule activation for servers to ensure zero disruption.

• Advanced Compliance Reporting (SaaS): Deployment and ongoing hosting/maintenance of a custom Power BI Dashboard integrated directly with Azure Log Analytics. Get real-time visibility into:

  • Overall patch compliance percentages across both Clients and Servers.

  • Missing security updates and deployment status (Offering, Downloading, Installing).

  • Device health and historical compliance trends.
