Organizations are striving to become more agile so they can engage in the new connected world to provide business benefits, leverage new technology and offer employees a seamless work environment.

This trend is causing organizations to rethink device strategies and end user support. Companies are looking to give their employees a superior user experience and are turning to device of choice as an option. With this trend, analysts have seen a growth in Mac adoption in the enterprise.

The proliferation of mobile devices is not only changing the way people connect and communicate but is also giving enterprises a competitive edge. However, it presents new challenges for the CIO. Until now, enterprise customers had to either manually manage deployment of Mac products within their IT environments, which is costly and labor intensive, or run the risk of having unmanaged Apple products connected with their systems.

Recently, IBM has announced new enterprise mobility services that will allow workplace simplicity for deployment of Mac devices.

With these new services, clients can order a Mac and have it delivered directly to their employees with easy over-the-air setup or configuration, saving time and reducing costs. Additionally, the services will allow enterprises to easily manage ongoing support for Mac products.

Employees can then quickly and securely gain network access, connect to email and download business applications through a web page. The services can also support personally owned Mac devices that are authorized in a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environment.

For integration, the services feature JAMF Software Casper Suite tools, the leading software solution for helping clients quickly set up and deploy Mac products. These services can also support clients who choose to deploy both Mac and iPad products within their enterprises.

Employees who bring in their own devices to work expect to have the same capabilities at their workplace as they do at home. They want to collaborate easily with colleagues, clients and business partners, driving the need to create one seamless global workforce network unhindered by office walls.

Employee preference is what drives Mac adoption in enterprise mobility. For both employees and the IT department, Mac At Work helps ease the transition to Mac adoption in the enterprise by addressing and solving compatibility, applications, support, networking and security issues for your organization.
