Intune Newsletter – 1st September 2023

Happy September, this year is absolutely flying by. I don’t know how things are around you, but the shops are already stocking Christmas decorations here! I love Christmas, but even I think it’s a bit soon!!

Whilst it’s been a 4-day week over here in England, the content is still coming in thick and fast!

To those of you attending the Modern Endpoint Management summit in Paris next week, safe travels and I look forward to seeing you there.
