Apple

Bridging the gap between consumer & workplace IT

For many years Apple iOS devices have transformed our working and personal lives.

Organisations want to harness Apple to provide their people with increased choice. Computacenter’s strong workplace credentials have earned us industry-wide recognition, with our DigitalMe approach bringing choice, convenience and control to the workplace.

Computacenter’s Apple solutions are delivered with the benefit of our expertise that extends from the workplace through the network and security to cloud, data center and applications. This means we enable our customers to integrate Apple technology securely and at scale, and then management and leverage them effectively.

Our Apple practice

The Computacenter Apple Practice supports and guide organisations in their adoption of Apple technology by recommending and providing the right solutions and services. We help you to accelerate deployment, streamline integration, simplify management and incorporate security.

Enterprise services

From consultancy and advice to deployment and support, our services reduce risk and cost while ensuring a great user experience. Our comprehensive services include:

• Workstyle analysis
  We profile how, where and when users work to determine their technology requirements and match them with the most appropriate Apple devices and services.
• Apple technology sourcing
  Using a customised online catalogue and automated e-commerce platform, users can select from pre-approved Apple technologies, and specify how and where they want them delivered.
• Deployment and integration
  We can deliver the device straight to the user’s place of work or home, with an embedded video guide and e-book to empower them to set up the device themselves. We can also provide onsite engineers or floorwalkers to assist with device familiarisation, particularly for larger-scale deployments.
• Mobile device management
  As part of Apple DEP, a user’s iPhone, iPad or Mac can be automatically added to an existing or new Mobile Device Management (MDM) programme. Computacenter helps organisations select, deploy and manage the most appropriate MDM platform for their needs, or can manage mobile devices via our own enterprise mobile management solutions.
• User adoption
  Our adoption framework comprises a range of tools and strategies to help users take full advantage of the rich features and functionality offered by Apple devices.
• User support
  Computacenter safeguards the user experience long after deployment and adoption through its multi-channel, multi-lingual support services. Our hardware maintenance and swap services ensure we keep your users working.
• Circular Services
  Apple devices hold significant residual value at the end of the traditional three-year refresh cycle. Computacenter can assist organisations to recycle or re-market devices at the end of their lives to further maximise their investment.
