Adopting MDM best practices can result in less hassle in supporting employees, increased overall productivity and assurance that valuable company assets are secure.
Zero Touch Deployments with DEP
Before you can use MDM to manage your iOS devices, you first have to enroll them. There are several methods for enrolling a mobile device, but the most seamless is through Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP), which entails a three step process:
Step 2: Then, purchase devices and link them to your DEP account. Once that's done, you can ship them directly to users.
Step 3: When a user turns on their iOS device on for the first time, it will be enrolled, configured, and ready for additional management – all without having to touch it.
