👍🏻 What benefits does the Apple Business Manager have?

Automated Connection to MDM: When purchasing a new device or switching devices, the connection to Mobile Device Management (MDM) is established automatically, significantly reducing manual efforts. This is particularly useful in large organizations where manually adding devices can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Improved Initial Experience for End Users: Despite automatic configuration and management by the admin, the end user can unbox and set up a new device, preserving the "new device" experience. Adding an administrator from the beginning ensures that company policies and applications are immediately present without compromising the end user experience.

VPP (Volume Purchase Program) Access: With VPP access, companies can acquire volume licenses for App Store apps. These licenses can then be easily and centrally rolled out to employees' devices through MDM, simplifying the acquisition and deployment of apps on a large scale.

Protection against Locking by Private Apple IDs: With DEP/ABM, devices cannot be easily locked by a private Apple ID. This is a crucial security aspect to ensure that business devices are not compromised by employees' personal accounts.

Clear Device Ownership: In Apple's view, the device belongs to the company, not the end user. This means that the company has greater control and security over the device, even if the user attempts to make changes to the device status or ownership.
