Managing devices for your business shouldn’t feel like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.  

For businesses with JamF and Apple Business Manager (ABM) can take the hassle out of Mobile Device Management (MDM). They work together like peanut butter and jelly, delivering a seamless, secure, and efficient solution for managing your Apple devices

Let’s break down why this pairing is worth the hype. 

JamF: The MVP for Managing Apple Devices 

JamF is the ultimate sidekick for IT admins managing Apple devices. It’s like having a personal assistant for your fleet of devices. Whether it’s deploying apps, enforcing security policies, or tracking inventory, JamF handles it all with ease. 

What makes it shine? It automates those boring, repetitive tasks that usually eat up your time. Updates? Check. Security compliance? Double check. 

JamF excels at scalability. Whether you’re managing a startup’s first 10 devices or an enterprise fleet of thousands, JamF adapts without breaking a sweat. And with its intuitive dashboard, IT teams get full visibility and control over their devices, making troubleshooting a breeze. 

JamF also offers deep integration with Apple’s ecosystem, ensuring that every device works seamlessly within your organisation. From Macs to iPads, JamF ensures that your devices are always optimised for performance and security. 

ABM: The Backbone of Apple Device Management 

Apple Business Manager (ABM) is Apple’s not-so-secret weapon for managing devices at scale. Think of it as the remote control for all your Apple ecosystem. 

With ABM, you can assign devices to your MDM system (like JamF) before they even reach your team’s hands. No manual setup, no stress. Just a seamless, out-of-the-box experience that feels like magic. 

ABM doesn’t just stop at enrolment. It’s also a one-stop shop for purchasing and managing app licenses. Need to distribute apps to specific teams? ABM ensures the right people get the right tools, right on time. 

ABM also provides centralised control over Apple IDs and accounts, enabling businesses to maintain tighter security protocols and prevent unauthorised access. This added layer of control is critical for organisations handling sensitive data.
