There are many ways to manage end user devices in the modern workplace. While a traditional Standard Operating Environment (SOE) still has its place, an increasing number of organisations are looking to leverage the capabilities of the Azure platform to modernise the device management of their end-user computing environment.
Microsoft Autopilot and Windows 10 lets you provide zero-touch deployment for users, reducing the effort on IT teams to roll out a traditional SOE. Individual applications are packaged and deployed via Intune, customised for the specific staff member. All an end user needs are their credentials and an internet connection!
Intune lets BYOD organisations deploy applications, without joining a computer to the domain and becoming a fully managed device. You can easily roll out business applications and ensure all devices joining a network have the right security. Give staff the flexibility they want while controlling software versions, licensing, security and central access.
First Focus can help your organisation create, deploy and maintain an SOE. Creating an SOE usually involves building an image with a standard operating system and set of applications, testing with a pilot group and then rolling out to all devices on the network.
Our staging facilities and team of national field service technicians are available for large rollouts of new devices. An SOE can also be deployed on-premise using customer infrastructure.

Executive Assistant, CI Australia PTY LTD
CI Australia started working with First Focus in 2019. We were looking for an MSP that could deliver increased service quality with pricing that matched our budget. First Focus was originally in our top three preferred providers. What really helped them stand out was their proposal – there was no over- or under-scoping – and their reputation for good people and services.

Since we started working with First Focus, we now have a robust cloud-based ICT environment. Our team are not bound to an office and have the freedom to work effectively from anywhere. Our tech isn’t a bottleneck holding us back. Now it supports our business and our people.
Corporate Services Manager, Harrier Group
Our people now trust their IT. They don’t have to spend hours researching IT answers because they trust that when a call is logged it will be resolved. I’ll recommend First Focus to anyone because I know that they’ll be in good hands.

Device Management
After an initial SOE is built we will ensure it’s maintained for Windows and application updates, newer hardware models and drivers. Today, with Azure Active Directory, Intune and Autopilot, we usually recommend a more agile, cloud-based approach. This saves the need for onsite storage, allows devices to be deployed more easily in any location, and reduces the maintenance of a “golden image”.
