Microsoft Intune for MSPs Adds 3 Multi-Tenant Partners

3 min read

Summary

Microsoft has added three new validated multi-tenant partners to its Intune for MSPs ecosystem—AvePoint Confidence Platform: Elements Edition, CyberDrain CIPP, and SoftwareCentral Tenant Manager—expanding tools for centralized automation, governance, security visibility, and policy standardization across customer tenants. This matters because it gives managed service providers more Microsoft-aligned options to reduce manual work, replace custom scripts, and manage multi-tenant environments more securely and efficiently.

Introduction

Microsoft is continuing its push to make Intune a stronger platform for managed service providers that support multiple customer tenants. For MSPs, this matters because multi-tenant management has often meant stitching together scripts, custom workflows, or third-party tools that do not fully align with Microsoft’s security model or licensing investments.

What’s new

Microsoft announced three additional validated partners for the #IntuneForMSPs ecosystem:

  • AvePoint Confidence Platform: Elements Edition

    • Adds secured multi-tenant automation, lifecycle management, and centralized visibility for Intune operations.
    • Aims to reduce operational overhead and support governance, recovery, and Copilot readiness.

  • CyberDrain CIPP

    • Provides a centralized multi-tenant management platform for Microsoft 365 with automation, governance controls, and security visibility.
    • Helps MSPs reduce reliance on custom scripts and manual administration.

  • SoftwareCentral Tenant Manager

    • Focuses on standardizing policies, app management, device administration, and monitoring configuration drift across tenants.
    • Runs entirely on Azure and includes CIS-certified security baselines.

These three vendors join previously announced partners such as inforcer and Nerdio, expanding the validated partner ecosystem around Intune.

Why this matters for IT admins and MSPs

The announcement signals Microsoft’s continued investment in MSP scenarios where Intune becomes the control plane for device management, compliance, and security across customer environments. Instead of duplicating tasks in separate portals or maintaining custom automation, MSPs can use validated partner platforms that are designed to work alongside Intune while respecting tenant boundaries and Microsoft’s security architecture.

For administrators, this can mean:

  • More consistent policy deployment across customers
  • Better centralized visibility into tenant health and drift
  • Reduced manual effort for repetitive administration
  • Improved ability to scale secure Intune services profitably

Impact on end users

End users may not see these changes directly, but they can benefit from more consistent device policies, faster issue resolution, and stronger security controls delivered by MSPs using standardized Intune-based management practices.

Next steps

If your organization is an MSP or supports multiple Microsoft 365 tenants, consider the following actions:

  • Review the validated partner list at aka.ms/IntuneForMSPs
  • Evaluate whether AvePoint, CIPP, or SoftwareCentral better fits your multi-tenant operational model
  • Join Microsoft’s monthly #IntuneForMSPs meetups and technical sessions
  • Reassess any custom scripting or legacy RMM-heavy workflows that could be simplified through Intune-aligned tooling

Microsoft also indicated more partner ecosystem updates, MSP guidance, and technical resources are on the way, making this a program worth tracking closely for anyone standardizing on Intune.
