Jamf Announces Same-Day Support for Apple Fall Releases Across its Product Portfolio
16 September 2020 - 10:46PM
Jamf, (NASDAQ:JAMF) the standard in Apple Enterprise Management,
today announced it is prepared with both compatibility and key
feature support across its product portfolio for Apple’s iOS 14,
iPadOS 14 and tvOS 14, which became generally available today. Jamf
is also prepared to support same-day compatibility with macOS Big
Sur when Apple makes it available later this fall.
Jamf has consistently offered same-day support for all Apple
releases to ensure customers and end users can take advantage of
new Apple technology in their school or business as it becomes
available.
This year’s new operating systems deliver powerful features that
will help organizations in three critical areas: enterprise
workflows, security and privacy, and distance learning. Key
functionality includes:
- Powerful and scalable enterprise
workflows- Skip setup items for mobile devices — IT
admins gain more ways to tailor the enrollment experience to their
end users’ needs. Setting up an iOS or iPadOS device should be as
streamlined as desired and the ability to omit steps, like SIM
setup and Watch migration screens, helps end users become
productive as quickly as possible.- Shared iPad enhancements
— IT can now apply mobile device configuration profiles at the user
level for iPads enrolled with Jamf with Shared iPad enabled. This
feature enhances Shared iPad workflows in the enterprise by
allowing a configuration profile payload - like a Web Clip - to be
available to each user as they log into the device.- VPN
configuration enhancements — Per-App VPN enables admins to specify
which apps and domains can use the Per-App VPN connection. Admins
can also configure the VPN connection for popular default apps like
Calendar and Contacts.- Allow users to remove managed apps —
Admins can choose to allow greater control over how mobile devices
function by giving end users the ability to remove specific managed
apps.
- More enhancements to user privacy, while ensuring
organizational security - Apple continues to
increase the level of control the IT team can have on devices.
Examples of new MDM commands and restrictions include being able to
set the time zone, restricting Wi-Fi MAC address randomization in
iOS and iPadOS and setting non-removable iOS and iPadOS managed
apps.
- Continued innovation in distance
learning- Jamf Teacher is now available in Jamf Pro
– Jamf Teacher is a free mobile app that allows teachers to have
limited management of student's school-issued devices when
integrated with Jamf Pro. Previously only available in Jamf School,
Jamf Pro customers can now use the app to manage their classes
whether they are next to a student in a classroom or managing the
learning experience remotely. Teachers can manage classes by
locking students into specific apps and websites and create and
start lessons by allowing students to only access apps and websites
for the lesson.- Updates in Apple Schoolwork and Apple
Classroom – Apple Schoolwork works with the managed Apple ID to
assist teachers with managing schoolwork with grading, editing
handouts with multiple students in a class. Apple Classroom works
closely in conjunction with Jamf School, functioning on Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi. This serves as an important privacy function, so schools
are unable to view the screen of a device in a home environment
when the student is away from the classroom.
“Jamf is proud to have offered same-day support for Apple’s
latest operating systems over the years. Whether a customer wants
to immediately adopt new OS features or has needs to assess updates
before deployment, Jamf’s commitment to compatibility and key
feature support helps customers advance the world-class Apple
experience that end users expect,” said Jason Wudi, chief
technology officer, Jamf. “This year, Apple has made important
updates in user provisioning, powerful enterprise workflows, and
ensuring security while upholding user privacy, and we’re excited
about what these advancements mean for IT and the end users that
rely on Apple’s platforms.”
