Managing your Apple devices

If your company favours Apple technology, there is an answer in the form of Apple Business Manager software, combined with mobile device management software.

With Apple Business Manager, you can distribute iPhones, iPads and Macs straight to your staff, fully configured and ready to use. Devices can be set up with device enrolment, with all required apps and security software pre-installed for a zero-touch deployment, so nothing for your staff to download or set up; simply pick up and go.

With this software, you and your IT team retain a much higher level of control over your fleet. Apps can be bought and distributed in bulk, regardless of location.
 

Stay secure with mobile device management

The bigger your mobile fleet, the harder it can be to monitor your device security and to protect your staff against cyber threats. Relying on your staff to manage these updates themselves is simply too much of a risk.

With mobile device management (MDM) software, you and your IT team can keep devices up to date with all security updates and a keep track of staff devices. Should a member of staff leave, the software will wipe their device to help protect your business against data loss, and set the device up ready to be re-issued to another member of your team instead of having to purchase new tech.

The perfect combination

By combining the Apple Business Manager with mobile device management software, you can rest easy knowing your business is benefitting from a mobile fleet that is:

• Fully deployed at source with no need for end-user installation, meaning no extra work for staff
• Complying with your GDPR and security requirements
• Requiring less time spent on administration, meaning your IT team can focus on other projects
