Microsoft Intune has become a central component of modern endpoint management, particularly for organizations moving toward cloud-based device administration, Zero Trust security, remote work, Bring Your Own Device policies, and Microsoft 365 based environments. Yet while the Intune licensing cost is relatively easy to find, the cost of hiring an Intune consultant is much less straightforward.
A company may see a consultant quote of ₹15,000 per day from one provider and ₹60,000 or more from another. International consultants may quote $500, $800, $1,200, or even higher for a day of specialized work. At first glance, these differences can look excessive.
They are not necessarily comparable services.
The real Intune consultant cost per day depends on the consultant’s technical depth, geographic market, project complexity, Microsoft ecosystem expertise, security requirements, number and type of endpoints, migration scope, compliance obligations, automation requirements, and whether the engagement involves straightforward configuration or enterprise architecture.
There is also an important distinction between paying someone to configure a few Intune policies and hiring an expert to design an enterprise endpoint management architecture involving Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Windows Autopilot, Defender, compliance policies, application packaging, device migration, security baselines, reporting, PowerShell automation, and operational handover.
Those are completely different consulting engagements.
Microsoft itself describes Intune as a cloud-based unified endpoint management platform covering devices and applications across platforms including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Microsoft also offers several licensing approaches, including Intune Plan 1, Plan 2, Intune Suite, and Microsoft 365 bundles. (Microsoft Learn)
That licensing structure matters because consulting fees are only one part of the overall Intune deployment budget.
An organization should therefore evaluate the total cost of Intune implementation, rather than looking only at the consultant’s daily rate.
There is no single official global rate for an Intune consultant.
The market typically works through several pricing models:
For budgeting purposes, organizations can use broad market ranges rather than treating one number as universally applicable.
A practical planning range can look like this:
| Consultant profile | Indicative daily range |
| Junior or basic configuration consultant | ₹8,000 to ₹18,000/day |
| Mid-level Intune consultant | ₹18,000 to ₹35,000/day |
| Senior Intune consultant | ₹30,000 to ₹60,000/day |
| Senior Microsoft endpoint/security specialist | ₹45,000 to ₹90,000/day |
| Enterprise Intune architect | ₹60,000 to ₹1,25,000+/day |
| Specialized international consultant | $500 to $1,500+/day |
These figures are planning ranges rather than official Microsoft prices. Actual commercial quotes vary substantially based on location, contract structure, project duration, consultant availability, and required expertise.
The key point is that the daily rate should not be evaluated in isolation.
A consultant charging ₹50,000 per day who completes an architecture and deployment in 15 days can ultimately cost less than a consultant charging ₹20,000 per day who needs 50 days to complete comparable work.
For example:
Consultant A
₹20,000 × 40 days = ₹8,00,000
Consultant B
₹45,000 × 15 days = ₹6,75,000
The second consultant has a higher daily rate but a lower overall consulting cost.
This is why procurement teams should compare total project cost and deliverables, not simply the cheapest daily rate.
Several factors influence an Intune consultant’s daily rate.
The first is technical specialization.
Basic Intune configuration can be relatively straightforward. Enterprise endpoint architecture is not.
A consultant might be asked to create:
A consultant capable of designing and troubleshooting this entire environment will generally command a different rate from someone who primarily handles basic enrollment.
Microsoft’s current documentation separates Intune’s core service from advanced capabilities available through Plan 2, Intune Suite, and certain Microsoft 365 plans. Advanced functionality includes areas such as Advanced Analytics, Remote Help, Microsoft Cloud PKI, Endpoint Privilege Management, Enterprise Application Management, and specialized device management. (Microsoft Learn)
That distinction becomes important when determining what expertise a project actually requires.
A junior consultant generally works under established architecture and processes.
Typical responsibilities may include:
A reasonable planning range in lower-cost markets may be around:
₹8,000 to ₹18,000 per day
Junior consultants can be useful for execution-heavy work when an experienced architect has already established the design.
They are less suitable when an organization needs someone to independently make architectural decisions.
For example, if the company already has a documented endpoint architecture and simply needs 500 devices enrolled, a junior or mid-level consultant may be perfectly capable of handling much of the implementation.
If the organization has an undocumented legacy environment with Active Directory, Configuration Manager, Group Policy, multiple VPN technologies, third-party endpoint security products, and complex compliance requirements, the required skill level changes considerably.
A mid-level consultant typically has practical deployment experience and can independently handle common Intune implementation scenarios.
Typical responsibilities include:
A broad planning range is:
₹18,000 to ₹35,000 per day
This category is often suitable for small and medium-sized organizations that do not have unusually complicated endpoint architecture.
For example, a company with 100 to 500 employees migrating from traditional Windows management to cloud-based management may need several weeks of consulting but not necessarily a highly specialized enterprise architect every day.
A common approach is to use a senior consultant during architecture and critical deployment stages and a mid-level consultant for configuration and rollout activities.
That hybrid approach can reduce the total consulting budget without sacrificing architectural quality.
Senior consultants bring more than configuration knowledge.
They are generally expected to understand how Intune interacts with the broader Microsoft ecosystem.
This can include:
A broad planning range is:
₹30,000 to ₹60,000 per day
The higher rate can make sense when the consultant is responsible for architecture, technical decisions, complex troubleshooting, migration planning, or security-sensitive deployment.
For example, a consultant who can identify why an existing Conditional Access design conflicts with device compliance requirements may prevent a major deployment failure.
That kind of expertise has economic value beyond the number of hours worked.
Enterprise-level consultants often work at the architectural and strategic layer.
Their responsibilities may include:
Daily rates may reach:
₹60,000 to ₹1,25,000 or more
International enterprise consulting firms may quote considerably more depending on the region and contractual structure.
At this level, organizations are not simply buying labor.
They are buying specialized decision-making.
Geography can have a major impact on daily consulting rates.
The same technical work may receive dramatically different quotes depending on where the consultant or consulting organization is based.
India generally has a wide range of Microsoft consulting rates.
Indicative planning ranges might be:
The actual rate depends on experience, company size, certifications, project complexity, and whether the consultant works directly with the client or through an agency.
A direct independent consultant may have a different rate structure from a consulting company providing project management, backup resources, documentation, QA, and support.
U.S. consulting rates are generally higher.
Broad planning ranges can include:
These figures are not Microsoft-published rates and can vary substantially.
Large consulting firms may quote significantly higher because their price can include:
A freelancer’s daily rate should therefore not automatically be compared directly with a consulting firm’s daily rate.
UK-based consulting rates commonly vary based on seniority and whether the consultant is independent or working through a consultancy.
A broad planning range may be:
Again, these are budgeting estimates rather than official market tariffs.
Enterprise projects involving security architecture, identity, compliance, or global deployment can command considerably higher rates.
Remote consulting has changed the way organizations purchase Microsoft expertise.
A company in North America does not necessarily need to hire a consultant located in North America.
It may instead work with a consultant or development and technology services company in another country.
This can produce significant differences in daily rates.
However, cost should not be the only consideration.
Organizations should also evaluate:
A low-cost consultant who cannot troubleshoot a critical production issue during the organization’s working hours may ultimately cost more than a higher-priced consultant with reliable overlap.
Understanding daily activities is one of the best ways to understand the daily rate.
A typical consulting day may include several different categories of work.
The consultant may examine:
Discovery can reveal hidden complexity before implementation begins.
The consultant may determine:
This work often has more long-term impact than the configuration itself.
Once the architecture has been approved, the consultant can begin implementing it.
Configuration may include:
Microsoft’s Intune deployment guidance emphasizes planning, tenant setup, groups, licensing, device enrollment, application and data protection, and migration. (Microsoft Learn)
That means an implementation should not be reduced to simply creating a few policies in the Intune admin center.
Testing is another area that separates professional implementation from rushed configuration.
A consultant may need to test:
Testing is particularly important because a policy that works correctly for one device group can cause unexpected behavior for another.
Some of the highest-value consulting work happens when something fails.
An Intune consultant might investigate:
Troubleshooting often requires knowledge across multiple Microsoft technologies.
That is one reason why experienced consultants can command substantially higher daily rates.
A professional Intune engagement should not end when policies are configured.
The consultant should ideally leave behind useful documentation.
This may include:
Good documentation reduces future dependency on the consultant.
That can lower long-term operating costs.
One of the biggest budgeting mistakes organizations make is combining licensing and consulting into one number.
They are different expenses.
Microsoft currently lists standalone Intune Plan 1 pricing in India at ₹665 per user per month when paid yearly, excluding GST, while Microsoft 365 plans can include Intune functionality as part of the broader subscription. Microsoft’s India pricing page also lists Microsoft Intune Suite at ₹830 per user per month and various advanced capabilities separately. (Microsoft)
The actual license a company needs depends on its existing Microsoft licensing position and required functionality.
For example, an organization may already have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5, meaning it should evaluate the Intune capabilities already included before purchasing additional standalone products. Microsoft specifically recommends reviewing existing licensing to avoid overlapping purchases. (Microsoft Learn)
The consultant cost is separate.
You can therefore have:
Software licensing
plus
Implementation consulting
plus
Migration
plus
Application packaging
plus
Security architecture
plus
Training
plus
Ongoing support
These should be budgeted independently.
Suppose a 100-employee company wants to implement Microsoft Intune.
Its requirements are:
The organization might require:
Discovery: 2 days
Architecture: 2 days
Configuration: 5 days
Application deployment: 4 days
Testing: 3 days
Pilot: 2 days
Production rollout: 3 days
Documentation and training: 2 days
Total:
23 consulting days
At ₹20,000/day:
₹4,60,000
At ₹35,000/day:
₹8,05,000
At ₹50,000/day:
₹11,50,000
The difference is significant.
But the cheapest daily rate is not automatically the lowest total-cost solution.
A 500-user company may have more complexity.
Suppose it has:
The engagement might require:
Such a project could require 40 to 100+ consulting days depending on how much existing infrastructure must be redesigned.
At ₹35,000/day:
40 days = ₹14,00,000
60 days = ₹21,00,000
80 days = ₹28,00,000
100 days = ₹35,00,000
At ₹60,000/day:
40 days = ₹24,00,000
60 days = ₹36,00,000
80 days = ₹48,00,000
100 days = ₹60,00,000
This illustrates why simply asking, “What is the Intune consultant cost per day?” is not enough to establish a realistic implementation budget.
Consider a multinational organization with:
This is no longer a basic Intune implementation.
The project may involve:
A high-end consultant might therefore be priced substantially above the general market average.
The organization may also require several consultants rather than one.
For example:
In that situation, the “daily Intune consultant cost” becomes only one component of the overall project team budget.
Different Intune projects have different complexity levels.
Typical scope:
Approximate duration:
3 to 10 days
Typical consulting budget:
₹30,000 to ₹3,00,000
Typical scope:
Approximate duration:
7 to 20 days
Typical consulting budget:
₹1,50,000 to ₹10,00,000
Typical scope:
Approximate duration:
3 to 10 days
Typical consulting budget:
₹75,000 to ₹5,00,000
Migration projects are often more expensive.
The reason is simple.
The consultant is not starting with a blank environment.
There may already be:
The consultant must determine what should be:
A migration therefore involves assessment as well as implementation.
Typical duration can range from several weeks to several months.
The consulting cost can range from:
₹5,00,000 to ₹50,00,000+
for larger and more complicated environments.
Large enterprises can exceed this range significantly.
Co-management introduces another layer of complexity.
Organizations may run:
The consultant must determine which workloads should be handled by which platform.
Potential areas include:
The objective is not simply to switch everything to Intune immediately.
Instead, the organization may need a controlled transition.
That requires careful planning, pilot groups, workload migration, monitoring, and rollback procedures.
Application packaging can become one of the largest hidden costs in an Intune project.
Suppose a company has 150 Windows applications.
Each application may require:
If one application takes several hours to package and test, hundreds of applications can generate substantial labor.
For this reason, an Intune project should establish an application inventory early.
Applications can be categorized into:
This allows the organization to forecast application migration effort more accurately.
Security-focused Intune engagements can command higher rates because mistakes can affect the organization’s security posture.
Typical security work may include:
The consultant may also need to coordinate with:
This multidisciplinary requirement can increase project complexity.
Conditional Access deserves particular attention.
Conditional Access can control access based on factors such as:
An incorrectly configured policy can unintentionally block legitimate users.
Therefore, consultants should use structured testing.
A responsible deployment typically involves:
Conditional Access consulting may therefore require identity expertise in addition to Intune expertise.
Intune does not operate in isolation.
Microsoft documentation identifies Microsoft Entra ID as an important dependency because Intune relies on identity and access capabilities for areas such as enrollment and Conditional Access. (Microsoft)
A consultant may need to work with:
If the organization’s Entra environment is poorly structured, Intune deployment may expose those underlying problems.
That can expand the scope of the consulting engagement.
Bring Your Own Device environments introduce another set of considerations.
The company may need to manage:
The organization may want to protect business information without taking unnecessary control over personal devices.
This can require careful policy design.
Consultants may therefore need to understand both:
Mobile Device Management
and
Mobile Application Management
The exact architecture depends on the organization’s security and privacy requirements.
Mobile deployments can involve:
Each model can require different policies.
For example, a frontline organization using shared Android devices may have requirements that are completely different from a professional-services company where employees use personally owned smartphones.
This is why endpoint count alone does not determine consulting cost.
Device type matters.
Windows Autopilot can significantly simplify device provisioning when correctly designed.
A consultant may need to configure:
The complexity increases when the company has:
Autopilot consulting can therefore range from a small configuration project to a major enterprise deployment initiative.
PowerShell skills can substantially increase the value of an Intune consultant.
Automation can be used for:
A consultant who understands PowerShell can often automate repetitive tasks instead of handling them manually.
That can reduce long-term operational costs.
For example, suppose an administrator spends two hours every week manually checking a recurring endpoint condition.
An automated remediation process might reduce that workload dramatically.
The consultant’s value therefore comes from the operational efficiency created, not simply the number of configuration screens completed.
Endpoint Analytics can help organizations understand endpoint experience and performance.
Advanced Intune capabilities include analytics functionality designed to provide deeper endpoint insights. Microsoft’s current licensing documentation lists Advanced Analytics among Intune’s advanced capabilities. (Microsoft Learn)
Consulting work can include:
Organizations should determine whether the functionality is already included in their Microsoft licensing before buying additional products.
Microsoft’s current licensing information notes that capabilities included in Microsoft 365 bundles have changed, including changes taking effect in 2026. (Microsoft)
Endpoint Privilege Management can help organizations implement least-privilege approaches while allowing approved tasks requiring elevation.
A consultant may be responsible for:
This work is more security-sensitive than basic device enrollment.
Therefore, organizations should prioritize consultants who understand endpoint security rather than simply selecting the lowest daily rate.
Certificate infrastructure can be one of the more specialized Intune areas.
Microsoft Cloud PKI is an advanced Intune capability designed to provide certificate lifecycle management across Intune-supported platforms. (Microsoft Learn)
Consulting work may involve:
Organizations moving from on-premises certificate infrastructure may require specialized expertise.
This can increase the daily consultant rate.
A low daily rate looks attractive during procurement.
But consulting should be evaluated based on total economic impact.
Suppose three consultants quote:
Consultant A: ₹15,000/day
Consultant B: ₹30,000/day
Consultant C: ₹55,000/day
If the project requires:
A = 60 days
B = 30 days
C = 18 days
Then the total consulting costs are:
A = ₹9,00,000
B = ₹9,00,000
C = ₹9,90,000
The rates look dramatically different.
The total project costs are surprisingly close.
More importantly, the quality of architecture may influence future costs.
Poorly designed policies can lead to:
The correct procurement question is therefore not:
“Who has the lowest Intune consultant cost per day?”
It is:
“Who can deliver the required outcome with a predictable total cost and acceptable technical risk?”
Companies do not always need to pay consultants by the day.
Fixed-price engagements can be useful when the scope is clearly defined.
For example:
Intune Foundation Package
Could include:
A fixed project price may be easier for budgeting.
However, fixed pricing becomes difficult when the environment is unknown.
For example, suppose a consultant agrees to migrate 200 applications for a fixed price before discovering that:
The original estimate may no longer be realistic.
That is why professional fixed-price contracts often define assumptions and change-control procedures.
Daily billing can be appropriate when:
Daily billing gives both parties flexibility.
The disadvantage is that the final project cost may be less predictable.
Fixed pricing can work well when:
For example:
“Configure Windows Autopilot for 300 devices, deploy 15 applications, create 10 configuration profiles, create 5 compliance policies, complete pilot testing, and provide documentation.”
This is much easier to price than:
“Implement Intune for our company.”
The second statement leaves too many unknowns.
Some organizations do not need a full-time consultant.
Instead, they need continuing support.
A monthly arrangement might include:
Possible monthly pricing could range from:
₹50,000 to ₹5,00,000+ per month
depending on scope and organization size.
Enterprise managed services can be considerably higher.
A monthly arrangement can be attractive when the organization wants ongoing expertise without hiring a full-time employee.
Before signing a contract, ask exactly what the daily rate covers.
Potential inclusions include:
Not every provider includes all of these.
For example, one consultant may quote ₹30,000/day but bill separately for:
Another provider may quote ₹45,000/day and include those activities.
The second quote may therefore be more comparable than the headline daily rate suggests.
A procurement team should ask practical questions before accepting a rate.
Ask:
Ask:
Ask:
Ask:
Certifications can be useful indicators, but they should not be treated as proof of practical ability.
Microsoft certification areas relevant to endpoint management can demonstrate knowledge of Microsoft’s technologies and concepts.
However, a consultant with a long list of certifications may still lack experience with complex production deployments.
Conversely, an experienced consultant may have practical expertise that is more valuable than a long certification list.
Organizations should evaluate both:
Certification
and
Demonstrated implementation experience.
Ask for examples of actual environments managed.
Another important comparison is between hiring a consultant and hiring an employee.
Suppose an Intune specialist charges:
₹40,000/day.
At 20 billable days:
₹8,00,000/month.
That can initially appear extremely expensive.
But a consultant may only be required for:
A full-time employee creates an ongoing annual cost.
The organization may need to pay for:
Consulting is therefore particularly attractive when expertise is needed temporarily.
The consultant’s daily rate is not necessarily the biggest hidden cost.
Other expenses may include:
An organization that budgets only for consulting fees can easily underestimate the complete project cost.
A useful planning formula is:
Total Intune implementation cost = licensing + consulting + migration + application packaging + testing + training + support + internal labor + contingency
For consulting specifically:
Consulting cost = daily rate × billable days
But the number of billable days should be estimated based on project scope.
For example:
₹35,000 × 30 days = ₹10,50,000
Then add:
This gives a more realistic total cost of ownership.
Reducing cost does not necessarily mean finding the cheapest consultant.
The better approach is to reduce unnecessary consulting effort.
Have these ready:
A consultant should not spend expensive consulting hours discovering information the internal IT team could have prepared beforehand.
Instead of saying:
“We need Intune.”
Define measurable outcomes.
For example:
Clear outcomes make pricing more predictable.
A pilot can prevent expensive mistakes.
A typical pilot might include:
The consultant can identify problems before broad deployment.
This can reduce the cost of fixing problems across hundreds or thousands of devices.
Not every company needs every Intune feature.
Microsoft offers multiple Intune licensing options and advanced capabilities, but organizations should select capabilities based on actual requirements rather than buying everything available. (Microsoft Learn)
For example, a small company may not need:
Overengineering increases both licensing and consulting costs.
This is one of the most important cost-control steps.
Microsoft notes that many organizations obtain Intune through Microsoft 365 bundles rather than purchasing it separately. (Microsoft Learn)
Before purchasing standalone licenses, determine:
Microsoft’s current India pricing information shows different prices for Intune Plan 1, Intune Suite, Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, and other related services. (Microsoft)
Because licensing structures can change, organizations should verify current pricing and entitlements at the time of purchase.
A good Statement of Work should define:
Specify exactly what the consultant will implement.
Specify:

This prevents disputes later.
For preliminary budgeting, companies can divide projects into three categories.
Typical organization:
Potential consulting requirement:
5 to 15 days
Possible consulting budget:
₹75,000 to ₹5,00,000
Typical organization:
Potential consulting requirement:
15 to 60 days
Possible consulting budget:
₹4,00,000 to ₹30,00,000
Typical organization:
Potential consulting requirement:
50 to 200+ consultant days
Possible consulting budget:
₹20,00,000 to ₹1,50,00,000+
Large transformation projects can exceed these ranges.
A higher daily rate can be justified when the consultant brings capabilities such as:
The question should always be:
What additional business outcome does the higher-priced consultant deliver?
If the answer is faster implementation, fewer deployment errors, stronger security architecture, reduced rework, and better long-term maintainability, the premium may be commercially reasonable.
Companies can estimate consulting costs using this model:
Daily rate × estimated consulting days = base consulting cost
Then:
Base consulting cost + expenses + optional support = total consulting cost
For example:
₹30,000 × 25 days = ₹7,50,000
Add:
Total:
₹9,00,000
If a 15% contingency is added:
₹1,35,000
Planning budget:
₹10,35,000
The exact contingency percentage should depend on how well the environment has been documented.
One of the strongest indicators of professional consulting is whether the provider wants to understand the environment before giving a detailed estimate.
If someone provides a fixed price immediately after hearing:
“We have 500 users and want Intune.”
the estimate may contain substantial assumptions.
A proper discovery process should examine:
Only after this assessment can the consultant reasonably estimate effort.
A discovery workshop may examine:
This information can dramatically improve the accuracy of an Intune consultant cost estimate.
This distinction is critical when evaluating consultant rates.
A technician may know how to create an Intune configuration profile.
An architect must determine:
Both skills are valuable.
They simply have different economic value.
There is no universal answer.
A small deployment may take:
3 to 10 days
A moderate implementation may take:
2 to 8 weeks
A complex migration may take:
2 to 6 months
An enterprise transformation may continue for:
6 to 12+ months
The timeline depends on:
The consultant’s actual daily rate therefore needs to be considered together with the expected duration.
For quick planning, organizations can use the following framework:
| Engagement type | Indicative daily rate |
| Basic implementation | ₹8,000 to ₹18,000 |
| Mid-level implementation | ₹18,000 to ₹35,000 |
| Senior consultant | ₹30,000 to ₹60,000 |
| Security specialist | ₹40,000 to ₹80,000 |
| Enterprise architect | ₹60,000 to ₹1,25,000+ |
| International specialist | $500 to $1,500+ |
These are market-oriented budgeting ranges, not Microsoft-published consulting prices.
Microsoft publishes product licensing prices, not standardized Intune consultant daily rates. Its current licensing documentation focuses on Intune plans, bundles, licensing requirements, and advanced capabilities. (Microsoft Learn)
Therefore, consulting quotes must be evaluated separately from Microsoft’s subscription pricing.
Suppose you receive two proposals.
₹20,000/day
Estimated 45 days
Total:
₹9,00,000
₹40,000/day
Estimated 20 days
Total:
₹8,00,000
Proposal B has twice the daily rate.
Yet its estimated consulting cost is lower.
Now suppose Proposal A includes:
while Proposal B includes:
The comparison becomes even more different.
This is why organizations should build a deliverables-based comparison table rather than comparing only the daily rate.
The financial value of Intune should not be measured purely by implementation cost.
A well-designed endpoint management environment can potentially reduce:
For example, automated provisioning can reduce the amount of manual work required when employees receive new computers.
Automated application deployment can reduce repetitive help-desk requests.
Centralized compliance can provide better visibility into endpoint state.
These operational improvements can become part of the business case for Intune.
A poor implementation can create long-term technical debt.
Examples include:
The organization may initially save money by choosing a low-cost implementation.
But it may later spend more on cleanup and redesign.
This is one of the most important considerations when evaluating Intune consultant rates.
A useful procurement principle is:
The higher the business risk, the more important specialist expertise becomes.
For a small internal test environment, a lower-cost consultant may be adequate.
For an environment controlling access to sensitive corporate systems, consultant expertise becomes more important.
Consider organizations such as:
These organizations may have stricter requirements around:
The consulting rate should therefore reflect the required expertise and responsibility.
Intune pricing and packaging are not static.
Microsoft’s current documentation indicates that advanced Intune capabilities are distributed across standalone products, Intune Plan 2, Intune Suite, and Microsoft 365 bundles. It also documents changes to capabilities included with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 during 2026. (Microsoft)
This matters because a consulting proposal created under an older licensing model may contain unnecessary licensing recommendations.
Before finalizing an implementation budget, verify:
Microsoft’s India pricing page currently lists prices in Indian rupees and states that GST is extra where applicable. (Microsoft)
The Intune consultant cost per day can range from a relatively modest amount for basic configuration to a premium enterprise rate for specialized architecture and security work.
For many organizations in India, a useful preliminary planning range is:
₹15,000 to ₹60,000 per day
for ordinary implementation and senior consulting work.
Enterprise architecture and specialized security expertise can push the rate above:
₹60,000 to ₹1,25,000+ per day.
International consulting markets can be substantially more expensive.
However, the daily rate is only one variable.
A more useful calculation is:
Total consulting cost = consultant daily rate × number of required days
and then:
Total Intune project cost = consulting + licensing + migration + application packaging + testing + training + support + internal effort.
The best budgeting approach is therefore to define the environment first, establish the required technical scope, determine which Intune capabilities are already included in the organization’s Microsoft licensing, and then obtain a proposal tied to specific deliverables.
Microsoft’s own licensing documentation confirms that Intune can be purchased as a standalone service or obtained through broader Microsoft licensing arrangements, while advanced capabilities are available through different licensing options. (Microsoft Learn)
For a small deployment, paying a premium enterprise architect for every task may be unnecessary.
For a large migration, choosing a consultant solely because they have the lowest daily rate can create significant technical and operational risk.
The practical goal is to match consultant expertise, project complexity, required outcomes, and total cost rather than treating the daily rate as the only purchasing criterion.
