New Research Finds Enterprise Apple Devices Have More Than Doubled
Over the Past Three Years and IT Professionals Expect Growth to Continue
MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - Jun 11, 2014) - JAMF Software, the leader in Apple device management,
today announced the results of an independent, national survey on Apple adoption in the enterprise.
Sponsored by JAMF Software, the survey was conducted by Dimensional Research and included more than
300 IT professionals. Key findings indicate fast growth of Apple devices in the enterprise will not slow down,
user choice is driving the trend, and IT professionals are not confident with the tools on hand to manage this
influx of technology.
Apple devices have become a key part of today's enterprise IT environment. Most survey participants
say iPhone (91 percent) and iPad (89 percent) are supported by internal IT teams. Interestingly, the rise
of Apple devices in the enterprise is due to employees stating they want to use Apple at work. In fact,
78 percent of IT professionals surveyed cited user preference as the main reason for supporting Apple.
IT pros expect this trend to accelerate, with 98 percent saying they anticipate Apple device growth in
the enterprise to increase by at least 25 percent over the next three years. The report also reveals that
the influx of Apple devices will mean more work for IT, as most (91 percent) say Apple device setup and
enablement requires IT involvement.
