When Apple releases a new operating system for macOS and iOS, it’s an excellent time to evaluate if your current management solution meets your needs. Device management systems are the critical solution in your Apple deployment and play a vital role in ensuring that all devices, whether company-owned or BYOD, are secure, compliant, and easily managed. During an evaluation, there may come a time when your organization needs to migrate to a new MDM solution. This can be a challenging task, but with careful planning and execution, it can be done fairly smoothly.
I’ve been a fan of SwitchBot for a few years now. They make some fun and unique smart home products. One of my favorites is the SwitchBot button pusher.

The SwitchBot Hub Mini is a great place to start, now including Matter support.

I’ve traveled more in the last year than I have in my entire life, and it’s making me yearn for something that Apple has long ignored: cellular enabled Mac laptops. While tethering works fine, it can be cumbersome to reconnect when moving locations. In 2024, as mobile computing becomes increasingly essential, the lack of built-in cellular connectivity feels like an oversight. Here’s why it’s time for Apple to embrace cellular hardware in its macOS devices.

If you had told me ten years ago that another company could ‘take over’ the macOS login window, I would have said that pigs must be flying. In the enterprise, identity is everything. The rise of SaaS (Software as a Service) tools has only amplified the need for a robust and unified identity system.
