Sustainable Lifecycle Services
Giving schools & organisations confidence in their multi‑year technology roadmap.
A good technology roadmap starts with understanding the intended period of use for the technology. Many educational institutes are looking to lease hardware over a 36-48 month period to build in refresh cycles and avoid technology obsolescence.
A strength of Apple hardware is the ability to seamlessly deploy ‘right out of the box.’ Our certified Apple Engineers can pre-configure your iPad and Mac ready for use on Day 1.
Durable cases, screen protectors and secure storage accessories all work in tandem to protect devices from daily wear and accidental drops.
Cloud MDM technologies allow for regular health checks to keep devices performing smoothly and ensure consistency of user experience, no matter which device a student picks up.
Smart usage of AppleCare extended warranties supports fast turnaround times on repairs and like-for-like swaps to minimise disruption and downtime. Learn if AppleCare+ or AppleCare Enterprise is best for your organisation

With devices in ASM and a correctly configured MDM, simply turn on your new Apple devices, connect them to your wireless network and sit back as they automatically deploy your chosen apps, preferences and security policies.
When it’s time to refresh your Apple fleet, we ensure the process is seamless with environmentally responsible recycling. Whether it’s returning to the leasing company for eWaste processing and repurposing, or reselling through Cyclone’s TechCycle platform to realise any residual value in the devices, we can support you every step of the way.

Power up the productivity of every employee
Cyclone, your Apple business partner
Apple products are the simplest devices to deploy and manage for work. Apple devices integrate hardware, software, apps and services to give IT teams the flexibility they need to deploy and manage devices. And with Apple Business Manager and a mobile device management (MDM) solution, IT teams can even configure and manage devices remotely with zero-touch deployment. So every Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV employees use is ready to go from the start.
Apple products are a great investment. They’re built to last, so business owners can enjoy years of productivity and savings on repairs or replacements. With the combination of high-quality materials, durable design and simple system updates, Apple products have a higher trade-in value when it’s time to upgrade. You can find Apple products for any budget. Or we can offer financing options to get the devices you need.
Keeping data secure is critical for any business. Many large companies spend a lot of money every year to protect their business and customer data. However, small companies often have limited resources, making them more susceptible to cyber-attacks.
Apple products are secure by design. They have advanced security features built in. So small-business customers can feel reassured that their information will stay safe on all their devices.

Apple Deployment with Cyclone
Apple Delivery Optimisation
Mac Enterprise Deployment Optimisation Program
Apple Mac Enterprise Pilot Program
If you want to ensure that Apple devices can be used securely and effectively in your organisation, 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 Optimisation engagement.
Our Apple Enterprise Deployment Optimisation Program guarantees compliance with your organisation’s device policies and offers a best-practice methodology aligned with Apple’s guidelines. This ensures the maintenance of an updated and optimised fleet of devices.
Our Mac Enterprise Pilot Program facilitates the introduction of a ‘limited scale’ modern managed deployment of MAC devices within your business setting. Through showcasing the simplicity of deployment, advanced enterprise management features and identifying potential challenges linked to a ‘device choice’ program, your organisation will be well-prepared for success in broader initiatives focused on Apple adoption throughout the organisation.
Supercharge productivity with Apple Intelligence
Apple’s hardware and software solutions help organisations to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI). Since 2017, Apple has used machine learning (ML) and AI to power features that people use every day to get work done.
Privacy protection
Apple Intelligence is designed to protect user privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of iPhone, iPad and Mac through on-device processing, so it’s aware of a customer’s personal information without collecting personal context.
Running AI apps and workloads on powerful devices
The power of Apple Intelligence starts with the AI and ML strength of Apple silicon. Its unified memory combined with the ML accelerators in the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine allows for efficient and low-latency acceleration of all kinds of AI and ML workflows.
Private Cloud Compute
For more computationally intensive tasks, Apple Intelligence can unlock even more intelligence with Private Cloud Compute. Private Cloud Compute maintains the privacy and security of a customer’s device while giving access to generative models much larger than what fits in a pocket today.
Apple Accessibility
Apple's goal is to make technology that works for everyone. That’s why they design their products and services with accessibility in mind, so you can connect, create and pursue your passions in the ways that suit you best.
Vision
If you are blind, have low vision or just prefer larger text, Apple vision features will help you customize your display, control your devices or even navigate your surroundings.
Mobility
Discover a range of Apple features that will make it easier for you to modify your touch. Create customized gestures or control your devices in the ways that work best for you.
