Why Service Automation Suite does more than simply import data
The standard Intune–TOPdesk connection is a solid first step: you quickly import device data from Intune to TOPdesk. That ensures direct visibility into assets and eliminates manual entry.
For many organisations, this forms a valuable foundation for asset management within TOPdesk.
In practice, however, the need often grows further. Organisations typically want to also:
Continuous, up-to-date and validated data
Lifecycle management (intake, changes and retirement)
Integration with HR and identity systems
Audit trails and compliance support
Integration with processes such as Incident and Change
Service Automation Suite: an extension of the standard integration
The Service Automation Suite Intune solution builds upon the standard Intune–TOPdesk integration and adds additional automation and governance capabilities.
With Service Automation Suite, organisations can among other things:
Continuous synchronisation with Intune, Entra and HR
Built-in validation and error handling
Lifecycle support
Compliance by design (ISO, NIS2, BIO)
End-to-end process automation
The result is a continuous and reliable IT administration, where asset data is not only available in TOPdesk but is also actively used in processes and governance.
Functional comparison
| Functionality | Standard connection | Service Automation Suite |
|---|---|---|
| Device import | ✔ | ✔ |
| Synchronisation | Periodic | Continuous |
| Data validation | Basic | ✔ |
| Lifecycle management | Not standard | ✔ |
| HR/Entra integration | Not standard | ✔ |
| Compliance dashboards | Not standard | ✔ |
| Process integration | Basic | ✔ |
The standard connection provides a solid foundation.
Service Automation Suite turns it into a future-proof asset and governance solution.
