Apple Business Manager (ABM) is a free web portal from Apple and the indispensable basis for professional iOS device management. It enables two key functions: 1. Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP): Newly purchased devices are automatically assigned to your company and forced to log into the MDM system when they are first used. 2. Volume Licensing of Apps (formerly VPP): You can purchase apps in bulk and distribute them centrally to your employees via MDM without the need for a private Apple ID. Without ABM, efficient management is hardly possible.

Yes. Modern MDM systems support “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) scenarios. A separate, encrypted “business container” is created on the private iPhone or iPad. Only the data and apps *within* this container are managed by the company and can be specifically deleted if necessary (e.g. if the employee leaves the company). The user's private data remains unaffected. This is the data protection-compliant way to securely enable BYOD in your Berlin company.

Thanks to MDM you have full control. Once the loss is reported, we can immediately put the device into “Lost Mode” and lock it using the MDM console. A message with a contact number can be displayed on the lock screen. At the same time, we can determine the exact location of the device. If the device does not reappear, as a last resort we can trigger a “remote wipe”, which will securely and irretrievably delete all data on the iPhone to protect your company data.
