Take Control of Your Apple Devices
Managing a growing fleet of Macs, iPads and iPhones doesn’t have to be complicated—or risky.
With the right tools in place, your entire Apple environment can be configured, secured, and supported automatically.
Virtua Computers helps businesses set up and manage Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Apple Business Manager (ABM) so every Apple device is secure, compliant, and ready for work the moment it’s powered on.
What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
MDM is the backbone of modern Apple IT. It lets you configure, monitor, and secure all your Macs, iPhones, and iPads from one dashboard.
With MDM in place, you can:
- Enroll and deploy new Apple devices automatically
- Push software updates, apps, and profiles remotely
- Enforce security settings and compliance baselines
- Lock, wipe, or locate devices instantly
- Manage users and permissions consistently across your team
Virtua Computers works with industry-leading tools like Addigy, Jamf, and Kandji—selecting the right platform for your business’s size and workflow.
What is Apple Business Manager (ABM)?
Apple Business Manager (ABM) is Apple’s free online portal for managing your company’s devices, apps, and Apple IDs.
Yes—it’s completely free to use.
When paired with MDM, ABM becomes a powerful automation engine for your IT workflow:
- Automatically enroll new devices into your MDM as soon as they’re purchased
- Assign apps and licenses through Apple’s Apps & Books program
- Control Apple ID usage and ownership
- Keep hardware ownership tied to your organization, not individual users
💰 How Much Does Apple Business Manager Cost?
Apple Business Manager is 100% free from Apple. There are no setup fees, licenses, or subscription costs. Virtua Computers provides free enrollment assistance and integration guidance – so you can take advantage of ABM without paying extra for the setup.
How Virtua Combines ABM + MDM
Our team handles every step of setup and integration:
- Assessment & Planning – We evaluate your current device setup, licensing, and user needs.
- ABM Enrollment – We register your organization with Apple and verify ownership.
- MDM Integration – Connect your ABM account to the MDM platform via tokens and certificates.
- Configuration & Security Profiles – Apply baseline settings, restrictions, and compliance policies.
- Testing & Zero-Touch Deployment – We confirm devices automatically enroll and deploy correctly.
- Ongoing Management & Support – Monitoring, patching, and compliance maintenance through Virtua’s managed services.
| Apple Business Manager (ABM) | Mobile Device Management (MDM) |
|---|---|
| Free Apple portal | Paid management software |
| Handles device enrollment | Handles configuration & security |
| Automates ownership and app licenses | Manages profiles, updates, policies |
| Requires MDM for full functionality | Requires ABM for zero-touch deployment |
Zero-Touch Deployment
Forget manual setup. With ABM and MDM together, new Macs and iPhones arrive pre-configured:
-
Power on → device auto-enrolls → employee logs in → ready for work.
That’s it.
This “zero-touch” experience saves hours of setup time and ensures every machine follows the same secure standard from day one.
Compliance-Ready Apple Management
We design every deployment to meet or exceed common compliance standards:
- SOC 2 – Secure configuration, access controls, and monitoring
- HIPAA – For healthcare and medical organizations
- NIST macOS Security Compliance Program (mSCP) – Baseline settings for hardened Apple devices
Our systems log changes, push patches automatically, and track vulnerabilities—making audits far simpler for your business.
