Property management employees using standardized Microsoft identities and managed devices

Standardizing Microsoft Entra ID and Intune across property teams

ArcTechOne moved property managers and staff away from accounts tied to individual properties and standardized Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD, and Intune management. Employees gained individual company identities that could move with them when their property assignment changed.

Move beyond property-local accounts

Accounts tied to one property made employee moves less seamless. The standardization work shifted identity toward the individual employee so the same approved company login could remain with a property manager or staff member when they moved to another property.

  • Replace property-local user accounts with individual company identities.
  • Keep the employee identity consistent when an approved property assignment changes.
  • Reduce the disruption created by issuing another property-specific login.
  • Give property managers and staff a more seamless sign-in experience.

Standardize identity and device management together

ArcTechOne standardized Microsoft Entra ID identity management alongside Microsoft Intune device management. Treating the user identity and the managed device as part of the same operating model improved consistency across property teams.

  • Use Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD, as the standardized identity platform.
  • Apply a common Intune management approach to supported company devices.
  • Align employee access and device management with property moves.
  • Support security through centrally managed individual identities and devices.

The documented operational result

Security improved through standardized identity and Intune management. Productivity also improved because property managers and staff could use a more seamless company identity and device experience instead of starting over with another local account when moving between properties.

  • Employee identities could follow approved staff moves between properties.
  • Property teams received a more consistent sign-in and managed-device experience.
  • Standardized identity and device management improved security.
  • The more seamless user experience produced a substantial qualitative productivity improvement.

ArcTechOne standardized Intune management alongside Entra ID so supported company identities and devices followed a more consistent management approach.

What outcomes are documented?+
