Intune Plan 2 Advanced Capabilities

Upgrade, enable, and operationalise Intune Plan 2 capabilities with clear licensing validation, controlled rollout, and governance that turns entitlements into measurable outcomes.

Organisations commonly outgrow baseline device management. As endpoint estates mature, the priorities shift from enrolment and compliance to higher-value outcomes such as reducing local admin risk, improving user experience through analytics, standardising enterprise application lifecycle management, enabling secure certificate issuance, and providing safe remote assistance for support teams. Microsoft Intune provides these advanced capabilities through specific add-ons and licensing options, but many teams struggle to connect the licensing decision to a practical rollout plan. The result is uncertainty, stalled adoption, or a capability that is purchased but not operationalised.
LW IT Solutions delivers Intune Plan 2 Advanced Capabilities as a structured enablement service. We validate what Plan 2 provides in the context of your current Microsoft subscriptions, confirm prerequisites, and translate your endpoint priorities into a scoped rollout plan. Where Plan 2 is the right choice, we enable the relevant capabilities and establish governance and runbooks so the features are supportable. Because Microsoft packaging and entitlements can change over time, we explicitly validate the exact inclusions and licensing position at the start of the engagement using Microsoft’s current documentation and your tenant’s licensing state.

Objectives & deliverables

What Success Looks Like

  • Make a confident licensing decision based on real use cases and measurable outcomes
  • Enable advanced Intune capabilities in a controlled way with pilot groups and success criteria
  • Reduce endpoint risk and support effort through privilege controls, remote assistance, and stronger baselines
  • Improve user experience and operational visibility using endpoint analytics where available
  • Establish a supportable operating model: roles, approvals, exception handling, and reporting

What You Get

  • Plan 2 licensing position and entitlement confirmation (documented)
  • Capability roadmap: what to enable, in what order, and why
  • Pilot plan with success criteria and stakeholder sign-off checkpoints
  • Enabled capabilities for the agreed pilot scope, with validation outcomes
  • Operational handover: runbooks, governance model, and a scale-out plan

How It Works

  1. Discovery - confirm endpoint priorities, support challenges, and target outcomes
  2. Licensing validation - confirm Plan 2 entitlements and prerequisites in the tenant
  3. Capability selection - map priorities to specific Plan 2 features and define rollout scope
  4. Pilot design - agree pilot groups, success criteria, and validation approach
  5. Enablement - configure selected Plan 2 capabilities for the pilot scope
  6. Handover and scale - document runbooks, governance, and rollout plan for wider adoption

Engagement Options

  • Assess - validate Plan 2 entitlements and produce a capability roadmap
  • Pilot - enable selected Plan 2 features for a controlled user or device group
  • Deploy - scale approved capabilities with governance and operational handover
  • Review - reassess Plan 2 usage and adjust scope as requirements change
