Jamf Now

Your team gets new Macs and iPads on Monday; by lunch, they’re work-ready without you unboxing a thing. With Jamf Now, you connect your Apple Business Manager account, map incoming serial numbers to a configuration template, and ship devices straight to employees. When users power on, the setup assistant guides them through a few steps, and the device enrolls automatically. Wi‑Fi, security policies, and essential apps appear on their Home screen minutes later—no Apple ID prompts and no manual installs. For small teams without a dedicated IT staff, this zero‑touch flow means onboarding takes hours, not days.

App rollout is equally simple. Purchase licenses in Apple Business Manager (Apps and Books), sync them to Jamf Now, and assign titles to a template or to specific devices. The software downloads in the background, updates stay consistent, and licenses are reclaimed when someone leaves. Need email ready on day one? Add a mail payload once—Exchange, Google Workspace, Yahoo, IMAP, or POP—and use user variables to auto-fill addresses. Test on a single device, then push to a department in one click. No more walking desks to type server names or ports.

Keep your fleet organized with reusable templates (Blueprints). Create one for sales with CRM and VPN, another for finance with accounting tools and tighter restrictions, and a kiosk setup that locks an iPad to a single app. Add passcode rules, web content limits, and Wi‑Fi networks to each template so every device in that group behaves the same. Use custom fields to track asset tags, office location, or manager approval and filter your inventory by those values. From there, you can push a new app to a site, lock a misplaced device, or wipe a unit before it’s reassigned—all from a simple dashboard.

Build straightforward runbooks for daily operations. New hire: add the user, assign the device, attach the right template. Role change: switch the template; the system removes old tools and installs new ones. Offboarding: revoke app licenses, back up data as needed, and wipe the hardware remotely. For periodic maintenance, schedule time to review installed apps, tighten restrictions, and export an inventory report with custom fields for finance or audits. Jamf Now keeps Apple device management lightweight and predictable so you can spend time on projects that grow the business, not on manual setup work.
