Samtec Modernizes Application Management as It Migrates Workloads into Intune

As Samtec moved workloads from Microsoft Configuration Manage to Intune, Recast helped its lean IT team navigate the complexity....

Summary

The lean Samtec device management team manages more than 6,000 endpoints while balancing modernization initiatives with ongoing business and legacy system requirements. As part of the move to Intune, Samtec needed an efficient way to rebuild and manage applications in a modern management framework.

Results

As Samtec advanced its modern management strategy, Recast became a key partner in helping the IT team navigate the transition. They used Right Click Tools, Patching, and Insights to gain access to valuable resources that supported application management, endpoint administration, and operational efficiency.

“It's difficult when you're transitioning into Intune and have to build all those apps back out with a catalog. I think last time I checked, it's over 6,000 apps in there now. That is a huge benefit to us at our company, and that is the biggest value add that we've had.”

Customer snapshot

Samtec manufactures micro connectors and related technology components. Like many IT organizations, the company operates with limited resources and supports a large and complex endpoint environment.

Industry: Manufacturing
Endpoints: 6,000+
Environment: A hybrid management model with most workloads migrated to Microsoft Intune; legacy systems remain necessary for business operations
Recast solutions: Right Click Tools, Right Click Tools Patching, Right Click Tools Insights
Team: A lean device management team responsible for ongoing administration and modernization efforts

The challenge

The organization was actively transitioning workloads to Microsoft Intune, but modernization brought new challenges. One significant hurdle was rebuilding and managing applications within Intune while continuing to support existing business requirements and legacy technology dependencies. At the same time, the team needed to continue supporting endpoint management operations across more than 6,000 devices without adding substantial administrative overhead.

The solution

For a lean IT team, reducing the operational burden associated with application packaging and deployment represented a meaningful advantage during the modernization process.

Samtec implemented Right Click Tools, Right Click Tools Patching, and Right Click Tools Insights to support its modernization goals. The organization is also evaluating Application Workspace as part of its broader application management strategy.
