 Many of our clients are now taking part in the trifecta of technologies that allows them to deploy and manage their devices remotely. This involves a custom Apple Store, an Apple Business Manager Account and a Mobile Device Management (MDM) service. To summarize, devices bought through a company's custom Apple Store can have their serial numbers locked into the company Apple Business Manager account where it can be assigned to their MDM solution of choice. With all this invisible back-end infrastructure setup and computer can be purchased and drop-shipped to a remote location and the computer will become fully managed with company apps, networks and vpn connection as soon as it is joined to a WiFi network.

 It took nearly a year, but my presentation at the MacTech Conference in Los Angeles from October 2019 is finally available to stream. As you may recall, I spoke on the uses of FileMaker Pro to integrate reporting from various services like Watchman Montoring, MunkiReports, Slack and Zendesk using REST APIs (Application PRogramming Interfaces). Its pretty dry stuff for most end users but it does show how various online services can be tied together using the REST APIs that almost every online service offers today.
