<p>Apple Business Manager (https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-business-manager/intro-to-apple-business-manager-axmd344cdd9d/web) (AMB) is the tool that allows organizations to manage and deploy Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It’s a web-based portal that provides a centralized location to create and manage Apple IDs, configure device settings, and purchase and distribute apps and books. It’s also the centralized portal where device serial numbers are automatically added when purchased by a business through Apple or an authorized retailer. With ABM, device management becomes a streamlined and efficient process as it allows for a zero-touch deployment model. </p>
<p>There’s one problem with ABM: The sign-up process is a pain for everyone involved. Keep reading to learn how Apple should evolve Apple Business Manager to even better serve the needs of its clients by both simplifying the sign-up process as well as additionally allowing the flexibility of offloading that process to outsourced IT Managed Service Providers and other Apple consultants (https://www.bfatechnologies.com/).</p>
