Managing corporate-owned macOS devices presents unique challenges as businesses grow. Scalefusion, a comprehensive Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform to manage, monitor, and secure macOS devices.
Imagine a scenario where a company’s engineering team rapidly expands, increasing the number of macOS devices that need to be configured and maintained. Since 87% of engineering professionals rely on macOS for its stability and security[1], an efficient MDM solution like Scalefusion becomes crucial.
Enrolling macOS devices in an MDM solution like Scalefusion is essential for ensuring smooth operations and maintaining security. With approximately 100 million macOS users worldwide and Apple shipping 28.9 million Macs in a year[2], the demand for effective management solutions continues to grow.
For Mac devices not under Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP), manual Mac device enrollment in the Scalefusion Dashboard is required. This blog will explore how to enroll corporate-owned macOS devices on Scalefusion.
