APPLE BUSINESS
MANAGER
SETUP & CONFIGURATION LONDON
Coreitech sets up and manages Apple Business Manager for London businesses — zero-touch Mac deployment, MDM integration, and volume app purchasing. New Macs configure themselves.
What Apple Business Manager enables
Zero-Touch Mac Deployment
New Macs automatically enrol in MDM and receive all apps, settings, and policies when first powered on — no manual setup.
Volume App Purchasing
Buy apps in bulk through ABM and distribute silently to all Macs via MDM — no individual Apple IDs required.
Automated Device Enrolment
Macs, iPhones, and iPads purchased through approved resellers automatically appear in your ABM portal ready for deployment.
Managed Apple IDs
Create organisation-owned Managed Apple IDs for staff — separate from personal Apple IDs, fully controlled by your business.
MDM Integration
ABM connects directly to Jamf or Microsoft Intune, feeding device and app data to your MDM for centralised management.
Device Supervision
ABM-enrolled Macs are supervised — enabling additional MDM restrictions, silent app installs, and enhanced security policies.
Apple Business Manager FAQs
Q.What is Apple Business Manager?
Apple Business Manager (ABM) is Apple's free web portal for businesses to manage devices, apps, and accounts. It enables zero-touch Mac and iPhone deployment (Automated Device Enrolment), volume app purchasing, and integration with MDM platforms like Jamf or Microsoft Intune. New devices enrolled in ABM automatically configure themselves when powered on — no manual IT setup required.
Q.Does my business need Apple Business Manager?
Any business with 3 or more Apple devices benefits significantly from Apple Business Manager. It eliminates manual device setup, enables centralised app distribution, and is required for zero-touch deployment via MDM. Without ABM, every new Mac, iPhone, or iPad must be set up manually — a significant time cost at scale.
Q.How do I set up Apple Business Manager for my company?
Setting up ABM requires verifying your business with Apple (using a D-U-N-S number), enrolling your devices, and connecting ABM to an MDM platform (Jamf or Intune). Coreitech handles the full ABM setup and MDM integration — typically completed within 1–2 business days for small businesses.
Q.What is the difference between Apple Business Manager and Jamf?
Apple Business Manager is Apple's portal for device enrolment and app purchasing. Jamf (or Microsoft Intune) is the MDM platform that uses ABM data to actually manage your devices — deploying apps, enforcing policies, and providing remote management. They work together: ABM handles enrolment, MDM handles management.
Q.Can Apple Business Manager manage iPhones and iPads too?
Yes — Apple Business Manager supports Macs, iPhones, and iPads. All Apple devices can be enrolled in ABM for zero-touch deployment and centralised management via MDM. This is ideal for businesses issuing company iPhones or running mixed Mac and iOS environments.
