Apple Business Essentials saves precious time for small
businesses as they grow. Available today in beta, the service
supports small businesses through the total device management life
cycle — from device setup to employee onboarding and device
upgrades — while providing strong security, prioritized support,
and secure data storage and backup.
“Small businesses are at the core of our economy, and we’re
proud that Apple products play a role in helping these companies
grow,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Enterprise
and Education Marketing. “Apple Business Essentials is designed to
help streamline every step of employee device management within a
small business — from setup, onboarding, and upgrading, to
accessing fast service and prioritized support, all while keeping
data backed up and secure, so companies can focus on running their
business.”
Simple Setup and Onboarding with Collections
Apple Business Essentials is a complete solution that makes
employee onboarding simple, allowing a small business to easily
configure, deploy, and manage Apple products from anywhere.
Within Apple Business Essentials, Collections enable IT
personnel to configure settings and apps for individual users,
groups, or devices. When employees sign in to their corporate or
personally owned device with their work credentials, Collections
automatically push settings such as VPN configurations and Wi-Fi
passwords. In addition, Collections will install the new Apple
Business Essentials app on each employee’s home screen, where they
can download corporate apps assigned to them, such as Cisco Webex
or Microsoft Word.
Strong Security with FileVault, Activation Lock, and User
Enrollment
With Apple Business Essentials, it’s simple to maintain strong
security across the organization. IT managers can enforce critical
security settings such as FileVault® for full-disk encryption on
Mac®, and Activation Lock to protect devices that may be lost or
stolen — and Apple Business Essentials ensures these aren’t turned
off by mistake. When employees use a personal device at work, User
Enrollment creates cryptographic separation for work data, to
ensure employee data remains private while company data remains
secure.
Secure Storage and Backup with iCloud
In addition to streamlined setup and onboarding, Apple Business
Essentials provides a dedicated iCloud account for work, providing
simple and secure storage, backup, and collaboration on files and
documents. Business data in iCloud is automatically stored and
backed up, making it easy to move between devices or upgrade to a
new device.
Comprehensive Support and Repairs with AppleCare+ for
Business Essentials
Businesses have the option to add fast and reliable service for
employee devices with prioritized Apple Support. When a business
adds AppleCare+℠ for Business Essentials to its plan, they get 24/7
access to phone support, training for both IT administrators and
employees, and up to two device repairs per plan each year.
Employees can initiate repairs directly from the new Apple Business
Essentials app, and an Apple-trained technician can come onsite in
as little as four hours to get their devices back up and
running.
Flexible Subscription
A set of three simple Apple Business Essentials plans enable
businesses to cover every employee and device in their
organization. Plans can be customized to support each user with up
to three devices and up to 2TB of secure storage in iCloud,
starting at $2.99 per month, with optional AppleCare+ for Apple
Business Essentials.1
