When you give people the power to work the way they want, with the tools they love, they are inspired to do the best work of their lives. Employees prefer iPhone, iPad, and Mac because they enable them to be more productive, creative, and collaborative. Now it’s easier than ever to bring Apple technology into your office in a way that makes it simple and cost-effective for IT to procure, deploy, and support Apple products.
The modern business world is shifting to a new model to give employees access to Apple. From deployment and setup of iOS and macOS to device management and support, these core principles simplify the process.
Empower all employees to decide which devices will work best for them, and provide clear choices within the range of products that IT can support.
Perpetual leasing and buyback enables businesses to be nimble and moves purchasing from a capital expense model to an operating expense.
iPhone, iPad, and Mac can be deployed and managed over the air by IT. And employees get the experience of unboxing their devices.
Beyond the basic company setup, employees can personalize their devices and choose the perfect set of apps that will work for them.
Many people already know how to use and support Apple devices, so the responsibility of daily maintenance is shared between IT and the end user.
We let employees choose what they use and overwhelmingly they choose Apple products. It enables them to be more productive, and work the way that they want to work.
With Apple-designed guides, resources, and services, you can reduce costs, save time, and eliminate roadblocks when rolling out and maintaining Apple products throughout your business.
We have the resources you need to be completely comfortable supporting Apple products companywide. Security guides will explain just how secure our hardware and platforms are on any network, so you can be sure your corporate data is safe. And training and certification will equip your IT team with the knowledge and best practices they need to roll out Apple products internally.
Once you’ve approved Apple products in your workplace, the next step is to get them set up and fully configured according to your IT policies. Find out how to connect devices to your network and optimize the experience with Cisco wireless networking. And use tools such as Mobile Device Management (MDM), along with Apple services like the Device Enrollment and Volume Purchase Programs, to easily deploy and manage iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
A great experience is more than a great device. Launch your program and keep your employees informed and up to date every step of the way. We provide templates for email, newsletters, intranet portals, and more. You can also help employees help themselves by sharing starter guides filled with useful tips. It’s all about creating a seamless onboarding experience and then teaching them to go further and do more with their Apple products.
