Jamf announces its acquisition of dataJAR, a leading Apple technology managed services provider
13 Juli 2023 - 11:15PM
Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing
Apple at work, announced it has acquired dataJAR, a U.K.-based
leading managed services provider (“MSP") focused on providing
powerful Apple and Jamf services for businesses and educational
organizations. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
dataJAR’s proprietary software provides a single pane of glass
for Jamf MSP partners who assist in managing multiple
organizations’ deployments, reducing support tickets, and allowing
partners to more seamlessly manage devices. This acquisition will
help Jamf partner more closely with its more than 600 MSP partners
and expand the reach of its leading Apple-first and Apple-best
management and security platform.
“Jamf’s acquisition of dataJAR confirms to anykey their
determination to empower our MSP business,” said Tobias Linder,
chief technology officer, anykey IT AG. “This will enable us to
leverage enhanced capabilities and drive greater efficiency in our
collaborative efforts to help people securely use Apple at work and
school. We look forward to exploring the possibilities that this
brings and delivering even more value to our mutual customers.”
In addition, there are many MSPs who have made and maintained
their business by having a keener focus on Microsoft, and often
don’t have the capacity to support Apple deeply or at all. With
Apple growth on the rise, MSPs have been asking for a solution to
help manage their customers’ Apple devices without diluting the
intended and unparalleled Apple end user experience.
“We’re excited to welcome dataJAR to the Jamf family so we can
empower our partners with this leading technology and help them
better scale their own business with added Apple-focused workflows,
expertise, and support,” said Dean Hager, Jamf CEO. “We believe
dataJAR’s mission to make powerful technology simple is perfectly
complementary to our purpose of simplifying the way works gets
done. I’m excited to work together on bringing the power of Apple
to even more partners, organizations, and workers.”
