Applications & Infrastructure
Legacy Management
From SCCM and hybrid to cloud-native Intune
Legacy infrastructure was built for a different era. SCCM task sequences, Group Policy, on-premises AD join, and manually maintained images served well – but they can not keep up with modern security requirements, remote work, or the pace of Windows updates. The question is not whether to modernise. It is how to do it without disruption.
- We map every Group Policy, script, and package to its Intune equivalent before we start – so nothing gets lost, and you know exactly what the target state looks like before a single device moves.
- We handle the transition from wherever you are today: SCCM, hybrid co-management, or an unmanaged estate – and migrate cleanly without disruption to end users.
- We design for independence: structured handover, runbooks, and training so your team owns and operates the new platform confidently from day one.
The Problem
Why legacy environments are hard to leave
SCCM/ConfigMgr is still running everything
Years of investment in task sequences, application packages, and compliance baselines. The organisation depends on it daily – but it is increasingly difficult to maintain, and the expertise is getting harder to find.
Windows 10 end-of-life is approaching
October 2025 marked the end of mainstream support. Extended Security Updates buy time, but every month of delay increases risk and cost. The upgrade path needs planning now, not when the deadline hits.
Hybrid co-management creates complexity
Half-managed by SCCM, half-managed by Intune – and nobody is confident which tool is responsible for what. Co-management was meant to be a bridge, but for many organisations it has become a permanent state of confusion.
On-premises AD-joined devices can not go cloud-native
Line-of-business apps that require domain join, network drives, printers, and Group Policy dependencies. Moving to Entra ID join means solving these dependencies first – and most organisations do not know how many they have.
Fear of breaking what works
The current environment works – it is just not modern, secure, or efficient. The risk of disruption during migration keeps everything frozen, and the gap between current state and modern standards grows wider every quarter.
Knowledge is concentrated in a few people
The SCCM expert, the GPO architect, the one person who knows how the task sequences work. When they leave, the organisation loses the ability to maintain its own platform – and migration becomes even harder.
What we can help with
Complete migration from legacy infrastructure to cloud-native Intune management - planned, tested, and handed over without disruption.

- Domain controller dependency removal for endpoint management
- Autopilot provisioning replacing imaging and task sequences
Windows 10 EOL Planning
- Windows 11 readiness assessment (hardware, app compatibility, drivers)
- Feature update deployment rings and pilot validation
- Timeline planning aligned to end of support deadline
AD to Entra Migration
- Active Directory to Entra ID transition for device identity
- Group Policy to Intune configuration profile mapping
- Certificate and authentication infrastructure modernisation
Operational Handover
- Complete documentation of new platform architecture and policies
- Runbook creation for day-to-day operations and incident response
- Training programme for IT operations team on Intune management
Migration Paths
From any starting point to cloud-native
We do not lift-and-shift. We redesign, simplify, and hand over a platform that is better than what you started with.
From SCCM (full ConfigMgr)
The full lift from ConfigMgr to Intune. We map task sequences to Autopilot, repackage apps for cloud delivery, and migrate compliance baselines to Intune configuration profiles.
– Task sequence to Autopilot + ESP mapping
– SCCM app packages to Intune Win32 / MSIX
– Compliance baselines to Intune configuration profiles
– Reporting to Intune + Log Analytics
From hybrid co-management
End the co-management ambiguity. We shift workloads one by one from SCCM to Intune, validate each transition, and decommission the on-premises infrastructure when the last workload is migrated.
– Workload-by-workload migration plan
– Compliance and patching cut-over
– GPO to Intune settings catalogue migration
– SCCM decommission timeline
From on-premises AD join
Break the domain-join dependency. We identify every GPO, drive mapping, printer, and app that relies on on-prem AD – then solve each dependency so devices can go cloud-native.
– GPO dependency audit and mapping
– Network drive to OneDrive / SharePoint migration
– Print infrastructure modernisation
– LOB app remediation for Entra ID join
From Windows 10
Hardware readiness assessment, driver compatibility testing, and a phased upgrade plan. For devices that can not upgrade, we design ESU strategies or replacement timelines – no device is left unaccounted for.
– Hardware readiness (TPM 2.0, CPU, Secure Boot)
– Driver and app compatibility testing
– Phased upgrade rings via Intune
– ESU or hardware replacement for incompatible devices
The goal is not just migration - it is modernisation. Moving from SCCM to Intune is not about replacing one tool with another. It is an opportunity to simplify the architecture, improve security posture, and build a platform your team can actually maintain.

Our Approach
Our approach won't surprise you. But our sleeves-up attitude might.
1. Audit & Map
Full inventory of what the legacy environment manages: devices, apps, policies, scripts, compliance rules. We map dependencies and identify what can be migrated, what needs rework, and what should be retired.
2. Design the target
Architecture for the modern platform – Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID, security baselines – with a clear migration plan for each workload. No surprises during execution.
3. Migrate in waves
Phased migration by device group, department, or location. Each wave is validated before the next begins. Users experience minimal disruption – most do not notice the change.
4. Decommission & hand over
Once all workloads are migrated and validated, decommission the legacy infrastructure. Full documentation, training, and handover so your team owns the modern platform.
Security, compliance, and ownership as standard.
Security by design
CIS Level 1 baselines, Defender hardening, conditional access, and zero-trust principles baked into every platform we build.
Compliance & audit readiness
Measurable security posture – tracked continuously against CIS, Microsoft Baselines, or your own frameworks.
Knowledge transfer
Training, runbooks, and structured handover so your team owns and operates the platform independently. That is part of the deliverable, not an afterthought.
