Somehow We Manage: The Importance of MDM in the Enterprise

Hosted by: Victoria Barber, Michael Brown, Scott Smith

In this episode, we get an update on Tom Rice's ongoing Apple deployment project with a large retail organization. The team assisted the customer in selecting a Mobile Device Management (MDM) vendor, enabling efficient management, configuration, and application deployment to the Apple devices.   

Next, we talk to regular co-host Kevin English about the potential of Apple Vision Pro in an enterprise setting, implications for the future of work, and why MDM support is critical to enterprise adoption of any new platform. Kevin joins us using his Vision Pro Persona, so if you’re able, we recommend watching the video version of this episode on YouTube!
