Patch Connect Plus now equips its users with Intune third-party patching! In contrast with the existing on-premise patch management using Configuration Manager (SCCM), Patch Connect Plus has progressed significantly towards cloud device management with Intune application and update management.
The takeaway here, is that all existing users with Enterprise license can straightaway update Patch Connect Plus to the latest build in order to start managing third-party updates in Intune.
