Apple Business Manager (ABM) has revolutionized the way organizations deploy and manage Apple devices, offering seamless integration and robust tools for managing devices, apps, and user accounts. To unlock the full potential of ABM, businesses need a modern device management solution that integrates perfectly with Apple’s ecosystem. That’s where Trio comes in.
In this article, we’ll explore why Trio is the ultimate companion for Apple Business Manager and how it simplifies device management for businesses of all sizes.
What Is Apple Business Manager?
Apple Business Manager is a free, web-based portal designed for IT administrators to manage Apple devices in bulk. ABM allows businesses to:
- Automatically enroll devices into Mobile Device Management (MDM) during setup.
- Distribute apps and content purchased through Apple’s Volume Purchase Program (VPP).
- Create and manage Managed Apple IDs for employees.
- Activate features such as activation lock bypass and device supervision.
While ABM provides a robust foundation, it requires integration with a device management solution like Trio to streamline workflows and unlock additional functionality.
