IBM has recently become a big fan of Apple, whether thanks to the many business applications that together with Apple make up, or thanks to the big transition to the Mac platform. Now, IBM would like to help other corporations with this big step.
Surprisingly, IBM wants to achieve this very quickly and efficiently, without complicated "paperwork". It offers companies cloud solutions that make the transition process as easy as possible.
Before the end of this year, IBM is expected to purchase around 200 Macs for its internal employees. The program, which is supposed to facilitate the transition for companies, has officially names IBM MobileFirst Managed Mobility Services.
As IBM itself claims, this step is quite a big challenge even for them. Companies have always been a bit hesitant to switch to Mac, but today, when PC sales are declining, Mac is on the contrary growing and is therefore an interesting choice for corporate success.
The program allows its clients to have Macs delivered to them without the need for further setup or modification. This primarily aims to save a lot of precious time, reduce costs and make everything as pleasant as possible for the user. In short, so that everything is ready to be unpacked from the box and plugged into the socket. The service also allows you to use your own Mac as a work tool, connecting it to the company network.
IBM previously offered these services, but only individually, today these services are standard.
Somehow I don't understand the point. Most companies have some special programs that are mostly on Win. If they only use Excel and Word + Mail, then I won't switch to a MAC for that, which costs a million or more than a PC. What are the corporate applications that Apple and IBM have created and what are they so revolutionary? :-)
You screw it up badly…
