Microsoft Intune provides cloud-based mobile device management, mobile application management, and PC management capabilities. Using Intune, organizations can provide their employees with access to corporate applications, data, and resources from virtually anywhere, while helping to keep company information secure. In addition to supporting Microsoft apps, some of the world's leading companies are now delivering applications with support for mobile application management via Microsoft Intune, including Acronis for protecting data on mobile devices.
With the integration of Acronis Access Advanced and Microsoft Intune, enterprises can more easily manage the deployment of the Acronis Access Advanced mobile file sync and share application and apply management policies. The integration will also boost user productivity, enabling secure interaction with Microsoft Office mobile and other managed apps, while preventing unauthorized access and data leakage. Policies can be added to restrict operations, such as copy and paste within managed applications.
