The Microsoft Backbone For
Manufacturing And Office

AndroForge™ is built entirely on modern Microsoft infrastructure, giving your manufacturing business the speed, control, and visibility that legacy systems can't match. Here’s what powers it:

Microsoft Entra ID (Formerly Azure Active Directory)

Your modern identity and access control system.
Entra ID replaces your on-prem Active Directory with cloud-based identity protection. It authenticates users, controls access to apps and devices, and enforces conditional access policies, without VPNs or manual intervention.

Benefits:

  • Secure, single sign-on for Microsoft 365, ERP, and custom apps
  • Granular access policies by device, location, or role
  • Seamless hybrid and remote workforce support

Microsoft Intune

Manage every device from factory floors to field teams.
Intune is Microsoft’s cloud-based endpoint management solution. It lets your IT team configure, protect, and monitor every mobile phone, tablet, laptop, and shared device across your organization—without touching a single server.

Benefits:

  • Zero-touch provisioning and remote wipe
  • Cross-platform support: Windows, iOS, Android, macOS
  • Built-in compliance monitoring and patch control

Microsoft Azure

Your secure, scalable infrastructure backbone.
Azure replaces your local servers with flexible, cloud-hosted compute, storage, and security resources. Whether you're running virtual desktops, hosting apps, or storing backups, Azure powers it with redundancy and speed.


Benefits:

  • Eliminates hardware maintenance
  • Scales instantly with demand
  • Built-in disaster recovery and business continuity

Microsoft Entra Internet Access

Built-in protection for all internet access.
Secure every internet connection on any device, from any location. Built for Zero Trust, it protects Microsoft 365, SaaS apps, and web access without relying on VPNs.

Benefits:

  • Blocks risky and malicious web content
  • Enforces identity-based access policies
  • Secures Microsoft 365 and SaaS traffic everywhere
