Every device that connects to a corporate network, laptop, phone, tablet or kiosk is a management and security responsibility. The practice of BYOD forced most endpoint strategies to expand well past company-owned laptops years ago, and the tools that manage that sprawl need to work as one system, not a collection of point products touching the same device. Managing the platform and managing the physical device are the same discipline in practice, which is why this page covers both.
WEI delivers complete endpoint management administration across the three major platforms that run enterprise fleets today: Microsoft Intune and Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM for Windows and cross-platform environments, and Jamf for organizations running Apple at scale. Zero-touch provisioning, compliance enforcement, and security policy enforcement work the same way across every managed device, regardless of which platform an environment already runs.
Apple’s enterprise presence has grown to the point where treating it as an afterthought inside a Windows-centric UEM is a real risk. As recently reported by an IDC endpoint survey, more than 45% of enterprises have macOS devices in their environment and Macs account for 15% of PC endpoints at larger organizations. Managing Apple devices through a UEM built primarily for Windows typically means slower deployments and increased manual patching. This is exactly why WEI’s Jamf certification is a distinct platform capability.
Users expect the same experience for personal settings, preferences, and saved data no matter which device they log into. Profile management used to be treated as its own separate project; WEI folds it into the broader endpoint management strategy instead, as a consistent profile experience depends on the same policy engine that’s already managing the device.
Custom Kitting, Deployment & Zero-Touch Provisioning: A new device shouldn’t require a technician’s hands before an employee can use it. WEI handles device kitting, imaging, and zero-touch provisioning so hardware arrives ready to work, configured, enrolled in device management, and set up with the right applications. One WEI retail customer recently experienced the benefits of this approach at real scale, a 1,700-location rollout that was completed on time with zero dead-on-arrival units.
The lifecycle doesn’t stop once a device is deployed. WEI can help organizations track device age, warranty status, repair history, support eligibility, and planned replacement dates. This means all refresh decisions are based on lifecycle data instead of relying on emergency failures when a device dies unexpectedly. For refresh projects large enough to strain internal staffing, WEI’s Technical Resourcing team can also provide vetted, engineer-trained technical staff for the duration of the project, without requiring a permanent hire once the refresh wraps.
The end of a device’s life carries real risk if it’s handled casually. This includes data that wasn’t properly wiped, assets that disappear from inventory records, or e-waste that creates compliance exposure. WEI manages secure IT asset disposition alongside the rest of the lifecycle, so decommissioning a device is a tracked and documented process.
A WEI unified endpoint and lifecycle assessment typically covers:
Most environments don’t need to rip out an existing UEM platform to fix what’s broken; a policy and configuration review often reduces the gap.
