Managing Apple devices like iPads and iPhones that are corporate devices can be very challenging. In this episode of The Cloud Whisperers, Brian explains to David what Apple Business Manager is, and what it can do for your organization.
Many organizations issue devices to their employees, and Apple devices are very popular. The problem with Apple devices is that there is a fair amount of setup that still has to happen once you unbox that device. Brian recently had the opportunity to assist an organization in rolling out a large number of iPads and he leveraged Apple Business Manager to accomplish this fairly easily. It takes a bit to sign up, but once you do the setup process is very easy with Apple pre-registering the device with your org and allowing you to use work emails as the Apple IDs. Brian shares this with everyone and if you do have issued Apple devices, this is a must listen.
