Apple Device Management

This service provides a remote cloud-based device management service for all school Apple devices including iPad’s, Macs & Apple TV devices. 

It allows you to free up staff time as they will not have to go round manually installing apps and save money as it means you no longer need to purchase dedicated on-site hardware. When signing up to this service, all your devices are enrolled onto our cloud management system and we would then push out any apps or updates that your devices require as and when they are needed or you request these from our team. 

Apple device management, comes with the following features:

• No need for local management hardware or associated costs (Mac Mini).
• Shropshire ICT will update your devices as and when security patches and app updates are available, freeing your staff from this onerous task.
• Apps can be installed and removed remotely.
• New devices purchased through Shropshire ICT can be auto enrolled, which will reduce onsite technician time.
• Asset management – we can provide a list of devices enrolled with the service.
• Mobile device tracking to aid recovery in the event of loss or theft.
• Devices can be wiped and re-configured in the event of a fault or security incident.
• Devices can be remotely locked if they are lost or stolen.
• We can control the access for student use which means that we can prevent them from accessing certain application on the iPad or areas of the settings.
