Set up, Manage and Protect Your Apple Devices at Work

By Steven Snell

If you have ever had to set up new devices, you know that it can require a decent amount of time to configure them all. This is especially true if employees have multiple devices. Even after setting up the devices, keeping an inventory of them, along with their settings and apps, can be quite tedious.

This is where a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution can greatly reduce the time it takes to set up and deliver ongoing management. Bushel is a cloud-based MDM solution, which means that, after quickly setting up your devices, you can inventory and manage all of them quickly and consistently at anytime from anywhere. Pushing out settings to devices is simple. For instance, you can configure company email accounts or enter Wi-Fi passwords one time, and Bushel will push them out to all of your devices with a single click.

Enrolling devices in a management solution may sound like a lot of work, but Bushel makes it simple. When you sign up with Bushel, you are given a unique web address that you or your users can visit on a device that you would like to manage. The user provides answers to a few, simple questions and within a couple clicks, the device is enrolled and you are managing that device with Bushel.

For the ultimate enrollment experience, sign up for Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP). When devices are purchased through this program it allows them to automatically enroll and apply specified settings when they are turned on. That way your employees and colleagues can receive managed devices that are still in the shrink-wrap…you don’t even have to touch them.

At the end of the day, security is king. With Bushel, you can ensure that sensitive company information on all Apple devices remains secure. You can enforce passcodes and encryption and even remotely lock or wipe a device over the air. Being a part of Apple’s DEP also unlocks advanced, supervised security settings that take your device management to the next level.

Apps are the key to a great mobile experience, but it can take some work for everyone to get the apps they need. Bushel allows you to centrally select and send apps over the air and even reassign them as your workforce changes. Apple has another program called the Volume Purchase Program (VPP) that allows you to purchase apps in bulk and own them as a company, rather than tying them to a specific person and Apple ID. This makes sending out and reassigning applications quick and easy.
