In this session, we’ll walk through a modern, automated approach to packaging, publishing, and maintaining third-party apps at scale—without the manual overhead, repackaging delays, or brittle scripts many teams still rely on.

Learn how Robopack’s cloud-based automation integrates deeply with Intune to streamline app lifecycle management, reduce risk, and free IT teams to focus on higher-value work. This is a practical, demo-driven session designed for real-world Intune environments.
