No SCCM 2016 – What is the Next Version of SCCM As A Service

Let’s discuss No SCCM 2016—What is the Next Version of SCCM as a Service? SCCM/ConfigMgr also follows the Windows servicing model (Windows as a Service).

To support Windows 10 servicing models, enterprise client management software like SCCM/ConfigMgr should follow the same servicing model: SCCM/ConfigMgr as-a-Service. There is no SCCM 2016 – SCCM as a Service.

There is no SCCM 2016, But It’s SCCM Current Branch. In the future, SCCM/ConfigMgr will also have a servicing model; the Next Version of the SCCM product won’t be called (NO) SCCM 2016.

The upcoming versions of SCCM will be branded as SCCM YYMM (e.g. ConfigMgr 1510). ConfigMgr 1510 is the latest preview version released in OCT (MM=10) and the YEAR 2015 (YY=15). This post provides all the details of No SCCM 2016: What is the Next Version of SCCM as a Service?
