Apple Business Manager
Apple Busimess Manager (ABM) is free software that allows the IT department of your company to connect a large number of Apple devices to your Mobile Device Management system. With this, you can remotely and wirelessly set up multiple devices at the same time.
Pros
- Automatically connect your Apple devices to your Mobile Management solution.
- Leave all of the devices in the box, because ABM is based on serial numbers and IMEI numbers.
- The devices are secured and ready for use for your employees right away.
Which devices do you put in Apple Business Manager?
You can add multiple Apple devices to Apple Business Manager, such as MacBook, iMac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV models. To use Apple Business Manager, you need an MDM solution like Jamf. Keep in mind that it's not always possible to add previously bought Apple products to ABM. That's because Apple Business Manager is based on the serial numbers and IMEI numbers of new devices. We recommend to register all your new devices in Apple Business Manager right away. Even if you're only going to use them later.
Note: Still want to add previously bought Apple products to Apple Business Manager? Use Apple Configurator. Our experts are happy to explain it to you.
How do you start with the Apple Business Manager?
You can start with Apple Business Manager by registering with Apple. You also have to purchase a suitable MDM system, because you need to connect this to ABM.
Via your Mobile Device Management (MDM) software, you can determine how to set up these devices first. For example, you can preinstall specific apps or determine the options your employees do or don't get on their device. You can do all of this online, so the devices stay new in an unopened box.
Our experts are happy to advise you on how to start using Apple Business Manager and which MDM system is most suitable.
