The document discusses the evolution from device-centric management to user-centric management. Device-centric management involved managing individual devices, but user-centric management focuses on managing all of a user's devices through a single interface. The document outlines how Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 and Microsoft Intune can be used to implement user-centric management, including managing applications, settings, and security across devices. A hybrid approach using both Configuration Manager and Intune is also presented.
