3 benefits of going cloud native

Since the start of Microsoft Intune in 2010, we have been working on and iterating toward simplified Windows management, in part by moving infrastructure from on-premises to the cloud.
As the capabilities of our customers and Intune grew, a pure cloud or cloud-native model gradually came into sharper focus.
Every customer's journey is different, so in addition to the cloud-native model, we also developed hybrid approaches for the customers that needed some cloud capabilities without making the full transition.
We are now seeing tens of millions of endpoints managed exclusively in the cloud, and I feel like we are reaching an inflection point.
We will continue to support all customers in their chosen architecture and models, but I am increasingly hearing from customers of their successful adoption of pure cloud approaches.
Given the increasing evidence from customers that have already migrated and customers planning to migrate, I am convinced that now is the time to move toward this pure, native cloud management approach for Windows.
Let me quickly define what I mean by cloud native.
Devices are cloud managed exclusively and receive apps and configurations dynamically, reset, or restored from the cloud.
In-depth security solutions are applied at scale through cloud integrated solutions.
Its transition to a purely cloud model is an example of how the shift can be helpful in both technical and financial ways.
First, pure cloud endpoint management lowers the chance of a security breach and the costs associated with that.
It also allows our customers to utilize the full scope and scale of Microsoft's cloud to detect threat signals from ever more sophisticated attackers and react accordingly.
The second customer story I want to share with you is from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
HPE has more than 87,000 employees and contractors, using more than 70,000 mobile devices, and 115,000 Windows laptop PCs. Their legacy on-premises solution relied on manual IT interventions and suffered increased exposure to security breaches due to slower device updates than when using the cloud.
In addition to immediate cost savings and benefits from Windows 11, there is one additional consideration for a cloud only approach: providing a better foundation for future innovation.
Whether it is deeper insights and analysis from AI, or simply being ready for whatever the next wave is, adopting a pure cloud, native model will put your organization on the right footing.
AI models operating on centralized cloud data could help identify future security threats by bringing together insights from across the organization and joining the dots.
We cannot perfectly predict the future, but companies that manage their user computing estate exclusively in the cloud are closer to being ready for watever is next.
We will, of course, continue to support our customers at whatever stage of the cloud journey they are on, but I also hope that these customer examples have shown the benefits of a purely cloud-native model.
Customers are increasingly telling me that the economic benefits, the benefits from Windows 11, and getting ready for what is next with AI are all key drivers in moving them towards a renewed C-suite conversation about the timing of moving all your endpoint management operations to the cloud.
