You’ve probably heard someone talk about, or have experienced it for yourself, the excitement of unboxing a new Apple device. It’s a moment that captures attention, from the sleek packaging to the innovative technology inside. But as those devices move from the box into your team’s hands, a new set of challenges emerges: How do you ensure they remain secure and seamlessly connected in the world?
Managing devices across teams and locations, or Mobile Device Management (MDM), can quickly become unwieldy. You have invested in these devices to ensure that your work can happen in sync, no matter where your team is. Don’t let that investment go to waste; ensure that your devices are secure, up-to-date, and efficient with a strong MDM system.
The Challenges of MDM
While all of those clean white boxes are aesthetically pleasing, the idea of having to set up and configure all of them manually can be overwhelming and potentially lead to inconsistencies. Not to mention a significant drain on your time and IT resources.
Without centralized management, you open your organization to security and compliance risks. Once devices are in the field or classroom, you have limited access to monitor device performance, install critical updates, and troubleshoot issues as they arise.
That is where Jamf becomes a vital part of your IT infrastructure. The Jamf suite of MDM products simplifies building IT policies and deploying configuration profiles across your entire portfolio of Apple devices. As members of the exclusive Apple Partner Network, FSA specializes in managing full Apple shops and seamlessly integrating Apple devices into Windows environments.
The Benefits of Jamf: Streamline, Secure, and Support
Streamline
From the moment you take those sleek devices out of the box, Jamf allows you to standardize setup and automate deployment so that all of your devices are ready to go immediately. Once they are in your team’s hands, you can standardize configurations and policies across teams and departments for consistent performance.
Whether your devices are on the road or in the classroom, Jamf’s remote accessibility allows you to manage updates and apps remotely, ensuring users always have everything they need and nothing they don’t.
All of this equates to faster rollouts, fewer IT tickets, and more productive teams.
Secure
Jamf helps ensure that every Apple device in your organization meets your security standards. You can enforce security and compliance policies across all devices from one place. This connection also allows you to deploy and change encryption procedures, password enforcement, and even remotely wipe a lost or stolen device.
This real-time access control enables proactive monitoring of device and security health, eliminating the need to wait for the worst to happen.
Support
One of our favorite things about Jamf is that it reduces frustration for both your IT team and end users. Jamf provides you with powerful tools to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot your devices. Teachers don’t have to stop their lessons, and staff don’t have to hand over their devices physically to fix or troubleshoot issues.
Jamf’s monitoring also means you are alerted to potential trouble before your help desk gets its first call. And when you deploy Jamf with an Apple Technical Partner, such as FSA, we are there to provide ongoing support for updates, training, and optimization.
