As one of the largest flooring distributors in the United States, Herregan Distributors, Inc. knows their success depends completely on the success of their customers. They have grown from one location and a staff of seven serving about 200 dealers in 1966, to eight locations and 165 employees serving over 3,500 dealers today.
Device management challenges
As companies grow, so do their needs for technology solutions. Viewed internally as the “Apple Guy”, Aaron Hormann, Head of Marketing at Herregan Distributors, Inc., was asked to manage the company’s Apple devices. When the company’s iPads were initially rolled out, there wasn’t a management solution in place. Aaron found himself trying to juggle his daily marketing responsibilities, as well as manage the company’s 60 iPads.
Jamf Now to the rescue
Jamf Now allowed Aaron to eliminate a lot of troubleshooting and IT functionality that he was doing and focus more on his core job role. “We no longer need to setup each iPad individually. It has been a seamless transition, and when questions do arise, the Jamf Now support team has been timely and knowledgeable,” said Aaron. Jamf Now was created to help individuals who have IT as a task, not necessarily a career. Many people find themselves trying to setup, manage, and protect their company’s Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices manually, as well as do their actual jobs. Jamf Now is a simple, intuitive way to manage Apple devices, and help people take back their nights and weekends.
We needed a simple, yet robust MDM solution to manage more than 60 iPads. When we came across Jamf Now, it met our needs perfectly and didn’t even require an IT expert to set up and maintain.
