Macs, iPhones and iPads that set themselves up
We set up Jamf Pro or Addigy with Apple Business Manager, so every Apple device your company buys enrolls itself, applies your security settings and installs the right apps.

Where Apple devices usually go wrong
In many companies Macs are the exception. They are set up by hand, everyone has admin rights, and updates wait until someone remembers.
That works for five Macs. At fifty it becomes a security gap and a time sink, and it is one of the first things a customer security questionnaire asks about.

Questions
Do we have to buy devices from a particular seller?
Devices bought from Apple or an authorised reseller that takes part in Apple Business Manager are added to your account automatically. Devices bought elsewhere can usually be added with Apple Configurator.
Can existing Macs be enrolled without erasing them?
Usually yes. iPhones and iPads normally need a reset to become fully supervised company devices, so we schedule those around your team.
Jamf Pro or Addigy: which should we use?
Jamf Pro gives the deepest control and suits larger or more complex fleets. Addigy has a simpler console that suits smaller teams. We recommend one after the audit, based on your size, budget and skills.
Who owns the licences?
You do. Licences can be bought directly from the vendor or through a reseller, and the account always stays in your company's name.
