CLIENT – Summit Design and Engineering
INDUSTRY – Architecture and Engineering
PARTNER – XenTegra
Simplified and streamlined IT operations
Reduced administrative overhead and eliminated costs from disparate systems
Enhanced security with new Conditional Access policies
Centralised management and real-time monitoring of all devices
Summit faced a significant challenge managing its diverse fleet of devices. Their existing strategy relied on three separate and unintegrated solutions, PDQ Connect, ConnectWise Automate and Meraki. This fragmented approach created a complex, administrative burden for the IT team, making it difficult to ensure consistent updates and security compliance, especially for a mobile workforce. The lack of robust Conditional Access policies also left the organisation exposed to potential security risks. To address these issues, Summit needed a unified and modernised approach. They sought to transition to Microsoft’s modern endpoint management framework, consolidating device management onto a single platform to streamline operations and enhance security.
As a mid-sized company with limited IT staff, Summit often struggles to dedicate resources for large project implementations and the time needed to learn new technical skills. By leveraging Insentra’s professional services and Intune experts, our team could focus on training to maintain the solution after deployment, while experts handled system architecture and back-end setup. This approach significantly reduced our resource burden and accelerated our learning curve, enhanced by effective support and continuous knowledge transfer throughout the process.
Collaborative Approach: Strong collaboration between Summit, XenTegra, and Insentra was a cornerstone of the project’s success. A focus on Knowledge Transfer was crucial, ensuring the Summit team gained hands-on experience with Intune to maintain the system post-implementation.
Robust Governance: A well-defined project governance structure kept the team focused on key deliverables and objectives, preventing scope creep and ensuring a smooth process.
Proactive Risk Management: The team proactively identified and addressed potential risks and issues, which prevented delays and kept the project on track.
“The quality of services delivered by Insentra has been awesome! From the beginning, the team at Summit communicated how critical this project was to eradicate different device management systems and bring them under the Microsoft umbrella. The project delivery by Insentra’s M365 experts and project managers has been IMPRESSIVE! Not only has the quality of services been great, but the interaction and rapport building from everyone on the team has been amazing.”

The project successfully implemented Intune for Summit, achieving all the initial goals and delivering significant benefits:
Simplified IT Operations: The transition to Intune unified device management under a single platform, drastically simplifying IT operations, streamlining policy enforcement, and reducing administrative overhead.
Enhanced Security: The implementation of Conditional Access policies through Intune and Microsoft Entra now ensures that only compliant devices and authenticated users can access corporate resources, significantly bolstering the firm’s security posture.
Cost Savings: By eliminating the need for three separate device management solutions, Summit was able to reduce costs associated with maintaining a complex, disparate infrastructure.
Centralised Control and Monitoring: Summit now benefits from a centralised platform for managing encryption across all Dell workstations and utilises Intune’s real-time monitoring and reporting to enforce CIS standards and ensure compliance with security policies.
By embracing Microsoft’s modern management approach, Summit Design and Engineering Services successfully transformed its IT landscape. The project not only addressed the immediate challenges of a fragmented management system but also positioned the company for future growth by providing a secure, efficient, and scalable platform. The success of this project is a testament to the strong collaboration between Summit, XenTegra, and Insentra, proving that even complex modernisation projects can be delivered successfully under a challenging timeline with the right partners and a well-governed process.
“The Insentra team in partnership with XenTegra was a pleasure to work with. Their Project Manager (Richard Tomlin) did a great job driving the project and keeping all the moving parts together. His efforts ensured successful delivery and customer satisfaction at every phase of the project. The technical effort spearheaded by George Williams was on point and our team here at Summit is thankful for the attention to detail and knowledge shared at every step of implementation.”
