CIO: With OS X El Capitan, it’s time you looked at the Mac

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.

My Mac Mini is a spam generator.

They have advertising that squeeze my e-mail and I can’t read it.

Strange, I have never seen that problem on any Mac, mini or otherwise. Apple's do NOT add advertisements to any emails at all, so I think you are either exaggerating or you have some weird email senders.

Are you using Apple Mail or getting it on your browser? Perhaps you've allowed a tool bar or two to be installed on your browser? If so, that is not Apple, that was YOU OKing a download you should not have.

You usually get these by installing a FLASH player from a non-official source.

Windows 8 was all that was needed to make anyone in IT seriously look at MAC....

I can’t imagine anyone but a MS fanboy or .NET developer remotely advocating windows machines in a development environment anymore.

Other than you can buy lower cost hardware, there is zero strong argument for MS after Windows 8.

Why is that? Because they just work and you don’t have to dedicate your life to fiddling with the stuff? You make no sense whatsoever.
