Seamless integration of Apple products thanks to macOS and iOS

iOS is characterized by its elegant design, intuitive user-friendly interface and easy navigation. Moreover, the interaction between iOS and macOS – the operating system for Apple desktop and laptop computers – enables cross-device integration of Apple products and services.

Efficient iOS device management in the enterprise

There are a few ways to manage iOS devices securely and efficiently for business and education use. For example, the Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager enables centralized distribution of licenses and apps to multiple devices.

Individual device configuration with DEP and Unified Endpoint Management

In addition, the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) allows IT specialists to register and configure devices to meet specific requirements for password strength, encryption and separation of company and private data for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs. Unified Endpoint Management solutions provide additional efficiency and security benefits for IT professionals who need to define iOS management profiles.
