Apple has done a great job of providing first-party applications to achieve pretty much anything you would want to do using their devices. From iMovie to Final Cut Pro, contentious changes to the Photos app, and the productivity tools like Pages, Numbers, and the awesome power of Keynote. Despite this, we generally need to provide much more than this to our users, installing applications from many different vendors with wildly varying approaches to installation, configuration and updates. There are almost as many approaches to managing the installation and patching of third-party software as there are vendors, and today we are going to speak to Adam Derrick from Jamf, and Dave Goldberg from Horizon BCBS about using Jamf App Installers in production.
