What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)? Where should you use an MDM? How can you lock down an iPad (or iPad Pro) with an MDM? How do you regulate device supervision? How does Apple Configurator fit in to the mix?

We even dive in to the specifics including DEP (Device Enrollment Program), VPP (Volume Purchase Program), BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Environments, and how to manage Macs (iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini & MacBooks) with an MDM.

We even go so far as to give you an in-depth look at specific MDM platforms such as Jamf Now, MaaS360, and Casper Suite (soon to be Jamf Pro). Jimmy and Lucas will guide you through everything you need to know in this episode.

Foojee partners with schools every year and we love seeing teachers make the most of their technology. In the Nashville public school system, Craig is hard at work to leverage the iPads available to the students in his classroom.

Craig also has ditched the 10-year-old Dell PC provided for his work use in favor of a 12.9-inch iPad Pro and a 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Using each device for specific tasks, Craig is able to leverage his technology and help his students learn in new and exciting ways.

Our conversation with Craig covers his background, his current job and technology set up before diving in to the meet of the episode.

Can't decide between the current MacBook Pro, a MacBook, or a new MacBook Pro? We're here to help. We break down the new features Apple introduced during their keynote to announce the redesign of the MacBook Pro. Touch ID, bigger trackpad, better cooling system, and a Touch Bar just to name a few were some of the introductions made.

Weighing in at just 3 pounds, the new 13-inch model is snappy and fast while the 15-inch model weighs in at only 4 pounds. This technology is getting better and better and we want to help make the decision easier for you by going as far as discussing pricing and what configuration would be best for business bulk purchases.

Rob started his own website a while back (http://conappguru.com) before joining the team over at JBKnowledge (http://jbknowledge.com). In today's episode, Rob covers a little bit of his typical keynote presentation when helping construction companies make the most of their technology.

Rob covers one app for five specific areas: Safety, Plans, Daily Reporting, Photos, and Time Entry.

We've worked with construction companies before and they're always trying to find the best ways to track and manage not only their devices, but time, productivity, and progress. With a background in construction and now as a construction technology consultant, we knew we had to have Rob on the show.

Summary:

In this episode we're doing an email app roundup! Whether you're checking in on your iPhone or a your Mac, email is a constant in our lives. In our never-ending search for productivity boosters and the best software we've used our fair share of email apps. Today's episode is dedicated to giving you an honest look at six of those apps.

It seems like every day there is a new email application available for us to use or try out. While many of them required paid subscriptions, many of them are free (or at least free to try out until you decide to buy).  We jump into the six following apps: Apple Mail, Airmail, Newton (formerly Cloud Magic), Outlook (yes, a Microsoft product!), Spark, and even the Gmail app.

If you're looking for native apps so you don't have to download another application on your iPhone or Mac, then Apple Mail is the way to go. If you're looking for a more robust set of features then it could be that something like Airmail or Outlook will be more up your alley.

Regardless, we'll give you the pros and cons of each email application. We'll highly recommend some and there are one or two that you could probably do without at this point. We'd love to hear from you. Which email apps do you love? Leave us a comment, shoot us an email, or use #AskFoojee on social media. We can't wait to hear from you!

Summary:

In this episode we dive in to one of your toughest decisions of the year. Which iPhone should you buy? We break down the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus as well as touching on other great devices for work such as the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and iPhone SE.

Every year Apple releases a new iPhone and there is a rush to go out and pre-order the device as quickly as possible. But there are so many options and for those who want to take their time to figure out what device is best, it can get a bit overwhelming.

For those looking for a smaller screen and a lower price point while retaining speed and usability, the iPhone SE is the way to go. This phone js perfect for work users and business owners looking to get a great deal at a strong price. The iPhone SE has the same chip as the iPhone 6S which means it has incredible performance and is a great option for businesses buying in bulk.

From there our conversation turns to the middlemen, the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus. These are both fantastic phones with some of the most recent technology available, but for the price point it seems worth it to spend an extra $100 to spring for the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. With the 7 you ensure that you've got the most recent technology and this device should easily last you two years.

Our conversation covers all of the iPhone model and helping you decide which is best for you or your business. At the end, we've got a quick question and answer (Q&A) that we've collected over the last few episodes so stay tuned until the end!
