Managing iOS devices with Managed Apple ID

The smartphone market share has been increasing quarter on quarter, and consumers nowadays have a wide variety of choices. This means that your employees would most probably use a high-end smartphone of their own, and hence they might not be receptive to the idea of carrying a second phone for work.

In these scenarios, it becomes imperative to let them use their personal phones to access work data, and not only making sure that the corporate data is safe and secure but also ensuring that the overall experience is completely non-intrusive to the personal side of things. This and further articles will help you learn how to use Scalefusion to manage employee/personal-owned devices and drive your BYOD strategy on iOS devices.
