"Apple Business is a significant leap forward in our decades-long commitment to helping companies of all sizes - Susan Prescott"

New Delhi, March 24

Apple on Tuesday announced Apple Business, a new all-in-one platform that includes key services companies need to effortlessly manage devices, equip team members with essential apps and tools, and get support from experts to run and grow efficiently and securely.

Apple Business features built-in mobile device management, helping businesses easily configure employee groups, device settings, security, and apps with Blueprints to quickly get started.

In addition, customers can now set up business email, calendar, and directory services with their own domain name for seamless and elevated communication and collaboration.

Apple Business will be available starting April 14 in more than 200 countries and regions.

"Apple Business is a significant leap forward in our decades-long commitment to helping companies of all sizes leverage the power of Apple products and services to run and grow," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Enterprise and Education Marketing.

"We've unified Apple's strongest business offerings into one simple, secure platform, delivering key features for organisations in every stage and sector, including built-in device management, collaboration tools, and additional ways to reach new customers," Prescott added.

According to the company, Apple Business offers built-in mobile device management (MDM), facilitating a comprehensive view of an organisation's Apple devices, settings, and more from a single interface.

Previously available as a subscription within Apple Business Essentials in the U.S., Apple Business is designed to make IT easy - including for small businesses without dedicated IT resources.

Apple Business includes new Blueprints to easily set up devices with preconfigured settings and apps, ensuring consistency and security and enabling zero-touch deployment for employees, so that new Apple products are ready to go out of the box.

Apple Business includes options to purchase upgraded iCloud storage and support with AppleCare+ for Business, and a companion Apple Business app will allow employees to install apps for work, view colleague contact information, and request support while on the go.

As someone who runs a small design studio, the 'Blueprints' feature sounds perfect. Getting all our Macs and iPads configured uniformly from day one will be a huge relief. Hope the pricing is competitive for the Indian market.

Interesting move, but I have a respectful criticism. While the features are great, Apple's ecosystem is still a premium cost. For a country where cost-effectiveness is key, I wonder how many small businesses will truly adopt this versus sticking with more affordable Windows/Android solutions.

The integration with a business domain for email and calendar is a smart touch. It gives even a startup a professional sheen. The April 14 launch can't come soon enough for our remote team.

Security is a major concern for Indian businesses dealing with client data. Having Apple's built-in security management from the get-go is a strong selling point. Jai ho to simplified IT!

The companion app for employees to request support on the go is brilliant. In our fast-paced work culture, reducing downtime is everything. Hope the AppleCare+ for Business support has local language options for wider adoption across India.
