Apple Delivery Optimisation

We know that many customers have wondered about how to deploy and integrate Apple devices into their existing environments but are either simply not sure where to start or have perhaps attempted it, but things have not gone smoothly. At Cyclone we are passionate about the value that Apple devices can bring to organizations and end users and have built an expert team to provide support, knowledge and guidance to optimize any environment and ensure a more integrated experience for Apple users.

As demand for Mac and iPad devices amongst employees increases, the need for organizations to have a structured plan for procuring, deploying and managing Apple devices is more important than ever. The Deployment Optimization engagement with Cyclone helps build a high-level conceptual plan for integrating Mac devices into your existing environment and ensures a seamless knowledge transfer so your organization’s IT team can execute the plan with confidence.

Using the GROW model, a Goal is defined, the current Reality of your environment is discovered, Obstacles are identified and Options to overcome them are explored, before a clear Way forward is outlined in a custom plan built for your organization.

• A planning document based on your unique environment is created and delivered at the end of the engagement.
• Defining (or refining) a Mac deployment workflow based on best practice and Cyclone’s years of experience.
• Guidance and recommendation on how to integrate your existing identity provider and productivity suites into the latest Apple environment.
• Delivery is a mixture of remote sessions and on site engagements to maximise the value for your organization

• Review your current enrolments into Apple’s Enterprise Programs, with recommendations on any improvements that can be made.
• Review and proactive health checks of your current Mac deployment process (if you have one) and improvement guidance based on best practice and industry standards.
• Tuning of your Apple device workflows.
• Partnership with your key stakeholders (IT Team, Business Sponsor) for smooth transfer of knowledge at the end of the engagement.

If you want to ensure that Apple devices can be used securely and effectively in your organization, then you need a clear plan informed by best practice and years of experience managing Macs in complex and diverse environments. Cyclone can partner with you to build this plan through our Delivery Optimization engagement.
