One of the officials of Microsoft, Eric Main, said,

Our vision for Windows Intune is big – we want to take the best of the capabilities delivered through our on-premises solutions (like System Center Configuration Manager with Forefront Endpoint Protection, System Center Essentials, Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, and Windows Enterprise management and security features) and enable them through the cloud, Eventually, Windows Intune will deliver more management capabilities than the on-premises solutions but with less cost and higher productivity.
