As a digital public library with devices in the hands of the general public, BiblioTech was looking for a solution to empower end users while maintaining compliance on over 400 macOS, 200 iOS and 200 iPadOS devices. They chose Jamf.
Encouraging reading and digital literacy
BiblioTech is the first all-digital public library in the US, with devices in the hands of the general public. They seek to enhance education and literacy, promote reading as recreation and equip community members with tools to safely thrive as citizens in a digital age.
"Before implementing Jamf," says Nick Rodriguez, IT manager at BiblioTech Public Library, "managing our Apple devices posed significant challenges. Ensuring security and keeping devices up-to-date was time-consuming and prone to errors, which impacted our ability to provide seamless access to our resources."
Jamf for Apple management and endpoint security
"We chose Jamf for its reputation in reliability and its user-friendly interface," says Rodriguez. "It was important for us to find a solution that could effectively manage and secure our Apple devices without causing disruption to our operations. Jamf's robust features and ease of use made it the ideal choice for our organization."
They also chose Jamf because they were in the unique position of offering content to the general public. Their users weren't necessarily aware of or concerned with what state their Apple devices were in, or how secure they were.
So, BiblioTech made it their responsibility to ensure all Apple devices are secure and protected.
Driving digital transformation
Jamf's centralized device management and seamless app deployment combined with powerful endpoint protection and threat prevention for Apple is exactly what BiblioTech needed.
BiblioTech immediately found substantial improvements in the areas of:
- Workflow optimization and increased productivity
- Reduced downtime
- Better user experience and increased satisfaction
Safe devices, secure data
Jamf's Apple endpoint protection and Apple management solutions secure and manage all of BiblioTech's devices, as well as sensitive user data. "The real-time threat detection, compliance monitoring and centralized policy enforcement functionalities have proven instrumental in safeguarding our assets and ensuring regulatory compliance," adds Rodriguez.
The importance of data security and device compliance
Of particular concern for this public library: compliance regulations. Public organizations often have stringent compliance requirements, and BiblioTech's was no exception.
Compliance was a paramount consideration for us, necessitating adherence to various data protection and privacy regulations. Jamf's robust security features and compliance capabilities were pivotal factors in our selection process, ensuring alignment with our regulatory obligations.
Supporting BiblioTech's mission
Jamf is proud to have been instrumental in supporting BiblioTech's important mission.
"Jamf has been instrumental in furthering our mission to enhance education and literacy within our community," says Rodriguez. "By providing secure and uninterrupted access to our educational resources, promoting reading as a recreational activity, and empowering community members with digital skills, Jamf has significantly contributed to our efforts in the digital age."
Moving forward, we intend to further leverage Jamf to optimize device management, fortify security measures, and streamline daily workflows.
