Mosyle Embark is designed to maintain onboarding staff knowledgeable as Macs are configured to be used. Company CEO Alcyr Araujo sees Apple adoption ‘accelerating.’
Mosyle is the newest Apple-in-the-enterprise ecosystem providers firm to toll out a brand new gadget deployment workflow device for Macs. I spoke with firm CEO, Alcyr Araujo, who believes — as many do — that Macs have gotten a frontrunner on the earth of enterprise IT.
What’s new from Mosyle?
Available now in beta to Mosyle Fuse prospects, Mosyle Embark is designed to let IT groups improve safety and compliance from the beginning when placing new Macs into use. It does so by guiding and informing staff throughout the configuration of their new Mac.
The firm explains that Mosyle Embark launches instantly after Mac enrollment or the primary Mosyle Auth authentication. Among different duties, it checks to ensure the Mac has sufficient battery energy to finish any set up, after which gives customers a visualization that exhibits progress by each activity the Mac is performing whereas arrange takes place. Your Mac could also be updating software program, for instance, or making use of MDM settings. (End customers even get a reminder to not shut down the Mac throughout the restart.)
While skilled Mac customers nearly definitely know roughly what’s taking place throughout the setup and software program set up course of, new customers know much less.

That’s a specific problem for distant staff making the migration for the primary time, which is the place Mosyle Embark will seemingly have the most important impression. In the long term, it might assist cut back the pressure on IT throughout deployments because the Mac will inform the consumer what’s going on.
Araujo: Apple enterprise adoption is accelerating
Araujo sees the deployment fee for Apple gadgets within the enterprise accelerating: “From small to large enterprises, we continue to see strong growth among all sizes of business customers. New small and medium customers continue to come in growing numbers month after month, while current customers continue to aggressively add new Apple devices to their fleets.
“Enterprise customers continue to expand their Apple fleets in ways that makes us believe we’re only now in the initial days of a migration era.
“Larger companies, after listening to employees’ preferences and learning about the sophisticated enterprise tools offered by Apple and specialized Apple endpoint software providers, are starting to refresh PCs with Macs, which should continue for the coming years. Ultimately, Macs will become the leader in enterprise.”
The ecosystem is rising
Apple continues to evolve its working techniques to deal with the wants of enterprise purchasers. Lockdown Mode might entice consideration, however applied sciences reminiscent of these APIs that allow MDM providers, deeper safety safety, enhancements in MDM assist, Managed Device Attestation, and even Apple Business Essentials and enhancements within the important Apple Configurator — all are proof the corporate’s deal with supporting these markets.
The trade appears to be taking notice. Araujo stated: “The evolution of the enterprise Apple ecosystem has been impressive, particularly over the past three years. Apple aggressively developed and released several improvements to critical enterprise needs, such as device management, authentication, and endpoint security.”
These enhancements empower innovation from companions reminiscent of Moysle, Kandji, Jamf and others — providing a supporting ecosystem that now appears to be eclipsing what was in place earlier than.
“Apple-specialized enterprise providers used all their expertise to build unique and integrated offerings for Apple devices that are now far superior, cheaper, and easier to use than any single solution or combination of solutions available for PCs,” he stated.
“The introduction of User Enrollment years ago and the subsequent improvements made by Apple, combined with the impressive work done by top Apple-specialized enterprise providers, have created the perfect solution for the old BYOD problem. At this time, there’s no reason any company or employee shouldn’t feel comfortable using their Apple device at work.”
The evolution continues
“When you stop to think about how many iPhones are now in the pockets of employees all around the world, it’s astounding. “Combine that idea with the potential of those devices to help employees and companies achieve more with flexibility and defined boundaries, it’s hard to not be optimistic about the future of Apple and BYOD,” Araujo said.
“We expect that in a few years, almost every iPhone will be used at work in a safe and private manner.”
