The systematic control and administration of Apple iPhones and iPads within an organization is essential for security, efficiency, and compliance. This process encompasses a range of functionalities including device enrollment, configuration management, application deployment, security policy enforcement, and remote troubleshooting. An example would be a company ensuring all employee-owned iPhones accessing corporate email are encrypted and password-protected.
Effective oversight of these devices provides numerous advantages. It safeguards sensitive corporate data, streamlines application distribution, reduces support costs by enabling remote assistance, and ensures adherence to internal policies and external regulations. Historically, this area has evolved from simple mobile device management (MDM) solutions to more comprehensive unified endpoint management (UEM) platforms accommodating diverse operating systems and device types.
