IT acquires open-source tools for overseeing iPhones, iPads, and Macs

Fleet’s solution enables larger users to incorporate multiple ABM and VPP tokens within a single Fleet instance. While this feature may not be as significant for most smaller businesses, larger enterprises, especially Managed Service Providers (MSPs), will immediately reap the benefits of utilizing a unified Fleet instance to cater to multiple customer needs.

According to the company’s website, “Whether you are an MSP or a corporation with various departments, administrators can establish distinct workflows to automatically register devices and distribute applications via the App Store. This enhancement streamlines the management of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices, offering a flexible solution for both MSPs and corporations aiming to consolidate control while accommodating different user segments.”

What follows is the realization that Fleet has joined the multitude of device management providers embracing Apple support due to the crucial importance of doing so. These providers are not embracing this for amusement; they pore over the same market analyses as everyone else, thereby acknowledging the evolving landscape of enterprise IT. They inherently understand that the future of business revolves around iPhones, iPads, and Macs just as it once did around Roneo, Windows, and Letraset. It is better to adapt to this transition rather than risk falling behind.
