Be the change
Improved integration between Apple’s iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan will inevitably drive more Macs into the enterprise.
“Apple’s dominance in enterprise mobility is unparalleled,” says Box CEO Aaron Levie. Apple’s devices are already the most popular mobile platforms across the enterprise, but Mac sales have climbed while the PC industry contracts for a decade, so an enterprise migration seems inevitable.
“Mac, iPhone and iPad adoption rates are only continuing to grow in the enterprise,” said JAMF Software CTO, Jason Wudi, speaking to Appleholic. “As more employees demand to use devices that they are comfortable with in their personal lives, we are seeing more IT departments offering choice and BYO programs.”
An April 2015 JAMF Software/Dimensional Data survey of enterprise users in the US found over 90% of businesses use Apple products, with 91% supporting iPhones, 89% supporting iPads and 60% supporting Macs.
Transformation
Enterprises are migrating to Apple because its platforms are best prepared for the digital transformation that is impacting daily life. It’s not just about ease of use but also the security these platforms offer in comparison to their competitors.
No enterprise user wants the confidential information held on their intranet or cloud-based database to be too easy to hack by criminals, competitors of government spooks. For enterprises, security isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity.
“The transformation has been happening, and will continue to happen for some time as the market evolves how it views and uses technology to deliver on organizational initiatives, and we see it continuing to happen industry by industry,” says Wudi.

I loathe Apple products for the exact reason that liberals love them.
Is that Liberals such as Rush Limbaugh?
A piece of hardware does not have a political stance, Megan.
Steve Jobs was once asked why Apple did not make political donations to Democrat candidates and causes. He replied that "50% of Apple's customers are Republicans and he did not want to anger half of Apple's customer base." Toward that end, Apple did not involve itself in politics. Any donations you may have heard about involving Apple came from the Apple Employees' Political Action Committee. Steve Jobs did not make large donations personally either. Despite being a multi-billionaire, in the ten years leading up to his death, his political contributions, although generally donated to Democrat candidates, totaled less than $100,000. You can look it up. The records are public. Microsoft and Google donated far more to Liberal causes.
I refuse to update my Mac from 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). My computer WORKS.
The later OS’s are too funky and glitchy.
I run Windows 7 in a virtual machine within my Mac and it’s a valuable pairing for the consulting work I do.
I’m far from a liberal but I have to interface with them and help them...
Need to go and cover my pepper plants - chilly tonight!
I've updated to 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, but won't be upgrading to Yosemite or El Capitan. I don't have any other Apple devices to synch with them, and like what I already have.
Well isn’t that nice, coming onto a thread you KNOW you have no interest in, and sharing your hatred and vaguely insulting people.
Ya know, there’s a series of threads that I don’t care for. What do I do when I see them, even though the subject usually irks me? I DON’T CLICK ON THE LINK. Somebody likes that series, I don’t, I’ll leave them to enjoy it even though I don’t. You’re welcome to do the same: move on.
Project much? Sheesh, it sounds like you were describing your own post.
Not a personal attack? Only in your delusional world, BBB
Hmmmmm, Let's see ". . . you are such a dick?" is not a personal attack
Then we have ". . . outright arrogance of the fanboy base like you."
Then you toss in, although you've been told repeatedly your claim is totally false, making you a liar, that "You MUST be a paid shill for Apple", Exactly how many times have you been told that I am not? Twenty? Thirty?
And THEN you repeat the ". . . dick. . . " slur and insult!
Then you suggest I am mentally ill. . . and accuse me of being just like a Liberal????
Yet you have the gall to claim ". . . this is not a personal attack?" I count no less than SIX in just six lines. The only factual thing you have stated is "‘he who is not a dentist!’ But then, I have never stated that I am, only that I manage a dental office for one of my clients. YOU claimed I was. . . and then try to turn that into a negative. You are the one who appears to have a problem, not me.
I made a factual statement of fact, criticizing MeganC's implied conclusions that only Liberals select Apple products. I also pointed out that it was not true. . . and that at least one prominent conservative did not fit her smear. YOU turned that into a personal attack on MeganC. It was not.
This is Alynsky style personal attack, intended to denigrate and marginalize me, if there ever was one. It is a VERY personal, insulting and vile attack on my honesty, sanity, and reason for posting on this forum.
What is your problem, BBB? Who wound your clock so tightly?
There was not a single thing Swordmaker posted that was not true. Why does that offend you? Did it mess with your pre conceptions?

This Cr@p is getting so old I rarely comment anymore. If I really want abuse I just go over to a Trump thread and say something nice.
When people call me a dick, as they often have, I respond with why thank you for noticing but then it is obvious because I’m a male ; ). personally.............I think the whole back and forth between Apple, Microsoft and Linux., let’s say enthusiasts goes over the top faster then a speeding bullet.
The question is, is who fires that bullet. It is very seldom the Apple users in Apple threads or even other threads. The attacks come from the others, just as in this thread. Thanks for the advice Mastador.
THEN STAY TO HELL OFF THESE THREADS. I’m 82, conservative, use a Mac and proud of it…
On the word of a CIO? Most CIOs don’t know a network from a fishnet.
I focus on the product. I went to Mac about three years ago and am VERY happy with this system. It is better.
I have a rip roaring Windows 10 home computer with multiple monitors. But I now spend 80% of my time on my MacBook pro.
My Mac Mini is a spam generator.
They have advertising that squeeze my e-mail and I can’t read it.
In the mere 2 years you've been here, you should refuse to respond to anyone. Your insults to others without contributing any intelligent responses are unwelcome here. You should get a life elsewhere BBB and not get on threads just to be a...
I agree 100%. I stick with Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.5), because Mountain Lion is smooth: cool Calendar, sweet Contacts, and a very useful TextEdit.
I read Isaacson’s Jobs in 2011 and learned to have pity for the genius who lacked the ability to give credit to his inferiors.
It is sad to see a healthy American company become infected with the vice of sodomy which can only be cured by either rudely removing the sodomites or destroying the business.
Very sad. My first Apple purchase was 1986 and here it is 2015 and I am researching alternatives.
