Striking the balance

IT teams are under constant pressure to balance innovation with cost efficiency.

A Mac fleet could be that balance: Mac is well-known for innovation, and Apple TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is considerably lower than PC, making a Mac fleet a cost-control measure.

Mac for business

Macs have gained a strong foothold in the workplace; they are praised for their security, performance, and user satisfaction. In fact, a joint study from Jamf and Apple found that 79% of the workers surveyed believed that they could not do their jobs as effectively without using a Mac.

Using Mac in business just makes sense.

Mac enterprise management

In addition, managing Mac in the enterprise can often be simpler while still offering personalization and granularity that PC management systems just can't offer.

Enterprise Mac management can make a budget difference, too: an Apple-funded Forrester study showed that switching from PC to Mac reduces IT support and management costs by nearly one third.

Why Apple ROI matters for IT decision-makers

Wise leaders know that investing in technology is less about assigning each employee the cheapest computer possible, and more about creating a foundation for future growth.

Proving ROI ensures alignment between IT initiatives and overall business objectives, while gaining the trust and buy-in of key stakeholders.
