Future of SCCM ConfigMgr Admins?

SCCM is becoming a core business-critical system (so as SCCM admins) that includes antimalware, patching, and managing access policies (Conditional access policies via Intune) to get mail access and critical data access to your organization. SCCM admins are empowered with new capabilities and responsibilities in your organization.

I think the future is very bright for SCCM admins. From a broader perspective, SCCM admins are becoming a more integral part of a company with a Core business-critical system.

SCCM admins’ profiles will not be limited to patching and application deployment (as critics say—but we know we do much more than that). The ITC Podcast Part 2 by Brad Anderson and Kelly Pranghofer provides more insight into this issue.

So Microsoft continuously listens to the SCCM community and responds to our worries. Microsoft has already deployed SCCM 2012 SP2 with Intune in their environment, as I mentioned here.

Now, things are getting centralized via SCCM, and SCCM Admins are becoming significantly influential individuals in each organization. Keep learning SCCM admins; don’t stop learning SCCM/Intune. You can find more help regarding learning SCCM here.
