This includes what you need to know about mobile for an enterprise. Such as enterprise application development, distributing enterprise applications, mobile device management solutions and device enrollment plans.
3. Enterprise Application
Development
Mobile applications have been the cornerstone of
the modern technological age--all the information
in the world, in your pocket. But apps are not just a
facet of consumerism; they can also critical in the
context of enterprise operations.
4. Enterprise Application
Development Cont’d
Enterprise apps are just like
consumer facing apps, except
they are developed by an
organization for use by its
employees. Enterprise apps are
not allowed to be distributed
through the app store, and are
only intended for use within an
organization.Enterprise apps can
be used in many domains like
education, banking, healthcare,
retail, field services,
small business, etc.
5. Distributing Enterprise
Applications: Enrollment
The cost of enterprise enrollment is not that much
higher than that of standard enrollment ($299
vs $99 yearly). Members of the Apple Developer
Enterprise Program can create Developer ID
certificates for the distribution Mac apps in
addition to iOS apps.
6. Distributing Enterprise
Applications:
Development Team
Apple’s Developer Enterprise
Program has three team
roles: the agent, the admin,
and the team. Team
agents assign admins and
members to teams. Unlike
team members, admins
manage the team and
possess the aditruthority to
distribute the app outside
the App Store.
7. Distributing Enterprise
Applications:
Build, Test, and Deployment
There are no special requirements for building
enterprise applications to be distributed over the
app store. The same set of tools, like Xcode and
Instruments, can be utilized for the creation and
testing of enterprise iOS apps.
After you finish building your enterprise app,
all you need to do is sign that app with the
enterprise signing profile and deploy the ipa to your
distribution server. Your employees can download
and run that app immediately because Apple
doesn’t have to review it. When user download app
he needs to trust your app from:
Settings > General > Device Management
8. MDM
(Mobile Device Management)
Mobile device management (MDM) deals with the
deployment, security, monitoring, integration and
management of mobile devices. MDM is used to
optimize the functionality and security of mobile
devices within an enterprise, while protecting the
corporate network.
9. MDM
(Mobile Device Management)
Mobile device management software allows the
distribution of applications, data, configuration
settings, and patches for devices. MDM also covers
device specific features like root encryption, SD
Card encryption, geo-location tracking, connectivity
profiles (VPN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), etc.
10. DEP
(Device Enrollment Program)
The Device Enrolment Programme (DEP) makes
it easyto deploy iOS and macOS devices that an
enterprise has purchased directly from Apple by
automatically enrolling devices in MDM, without
having to physically touch or prepare the devices
before users get them.
11. DEP
(Device Enrollment Program)
Enterprises can order the devices from Apple,
configure all the management settings, and have
the devices shipped directly to the employee’s
home address. Enterprises can even restrict
a user’s ability to remove the MDM profile from the
device through DEP.
Once the device is unboxed and activated, the
device enrols in your MDM and all management
settings, apps, and books are ready for the user.
