IBM went Apple for all of it’s employees, starting in 2015, found they were saving over $70 million in IT expenses every year and up to $535 for every Apple Mac computer installed. The number of technical support calls dropped drastically.
Up to $535 saving per Mac
IBM today told the record-setting seventh Jamf Nation User Conference that it is saving even more money by deploying Macs across the company than it thought: each Mac deployment saves the company up to $535 over four years, in contrast to the $270 per Mac it claimed last year.That’s a hugely significant statistic for any Mac user and follows extensive use of the platform by IBM. IBM VP of Workplace as a Service, Fletcher Previn, told the conference that 90,000 employees are now using Macs, up from 30,000 in 2015. 100,000 of IBM’s global workforce will be using Macs by the end of the year, he said, and the number is climbing.

Not only has the company been saving between $264-$535 for each Mac deployment over four years, but just 3.5 percent of employees using a Mac will call the company help desk, he said. . . This is fully in line with experiences shared in 2015, when Previn said just 5 percent of IBM’s Mac users needed to call the help desk; In contrast, an astonishing 40 percent of PC staff request tech support help. At IBM last year just 25 staff supported 30,000 Macs...

That is all fanboy propaganda I tell you, ask anyone that knows anything about computers. </s>
Just kidding Sword. Truth is facts don't often enter into these Apple hater treads. I read the windows threads and don't recall PC haters from the Mac Group over there trashing them. Wonder why?
