Device Management (MDM)
Centrally manage Apple devices & mixed fleets.
We connect with the appropriate MDM - e.g., or - and automate policies, apps, and updates. Thus, rollouts run smoothly, BYOD remains cleanly separated, and becomes measurable.
MDM that fits into everyday life.

Device Management in the Apple Environment
From ABM to Zero-Touch – the common thread.
With & devices are assigned to the correct MDM instance even before the first power-on. At startup, this occurs, after which profiles and policies (WLAN/VPN, passcodes, updates, encryption) take effect. Roles are assigned based on roles, and additional is available for shared software. monitor the device status and automatically remediate deviations. For ensure (partial) enrollment or for a clean separation of private and business data. Through and , MDM integrates seamlessly into your existing IT landscape - secure, scalable, and auditable.

Apple Business Manager & Apple School Manager
(ABM/ASM)
In conjunction with an MDM, ABM/ASM enable (Automated Device Enrollment), which simplifies the process for users and even before devices are shipped. Organizations register once with Apple, link their MDM, and define registration settings, policies, and the setup process – including. fully automated device registration pre-configured setup experience central control of configuration profiles Zero-Touch
Apps & Books
The app distribution is simplified and centralized through Apps & Books:
- Users receive the required software Consistent across all devices.
- The IT department works with a system for assignment and updates. unified workflow
- and can be managed during departures – costs remain predictable. Licenses remain valid redistributed
The advantages of device management
Roll out quickly, control uniformly, operate securely.
Inventory & Transparency
Device status always in view, plan lifecycle.
Centrally manage configuration & software
Remotely deploy profiles, policies, and apps.
Deployment & Zero-Touch
Make devices productive without manual setup.
Central Management
Standardize settings, lock/return devices.
Self-service for users:
Install shared apps and profiles yourself.
Separate BYOD cleanly
Protect business data, keep private matters private.
Apple Lifecycle – from ABM to End Device
Automated from procurement to usage.
1. Device assignment (ABM/ASM)
Automatically assign serial numbers to the instance.
2. Enrollment
Rules & profiles apply from the first start.
4. Apps & Self-Service
App assignments + self-service for teams/departments.
3. Guidelines
Set passwords, WLAN/VPN, and updates based on roles.
5. Compliance

Device Management in the Apple Context
Mobile Device Management consolidates device settings, app distribution, updates, and compliance in one place. Over automated device enrollment; policies and take effect from the first start. For BYOD, business data is cleanly separated from private data via or . Depending on the fleet, (Apple depth, self-service), (multi-OS, M365/Entra integration) or (flexible, cross-platform distribution) are used. Through and , MDM is seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructures. and telemetry enhance security, documented changes keep operations auditable.
