BaseHost has been confirmed as a JAMF Authorised Partner. The partnership strengthens our Apple device management capability with certified delivery, escalation paths into JAMF support, and competitive partner licensing on behalf of clients.
Why JAMF, and why now
Apple device management is one of those workloads that tends to sit in a corner of the IT estate until it gets serious. A few executives on MacBooks, a finance team on iPads, a growing share of frontline staff on iPhones. The point at which it stops being manageable through ad-hoc admin is usually well before clients realise they have crossed it.
JAMF (specifically JAMF Pro and JAMF School) is the de-facto enterprise standard for Apple-only device management. It does what Intune does for Windows, and what it does for Apple is materially better because the product has been Apple-only since 2002. Configuration profiles, supervised enrolment, app deployment, OS update orchestration, security baselines, all designed around the Apple platform rather than retrofitted onto a cross-platform tool.
What the partnership gives clients
Three things. Certified delivery means a BaseHost-led JAMF deployment goes through JAMF’s blessed implementation pattern, not a learn-as-we-go pattern. Escalation into JAMF support means tickets that would normally bounce around between Apple, JAMF and the customer get routed properly, with us in the loop. Partner licensing means JAMF Pro and JAMF School subscriptions can be procured through BaseHost on competitive terms, with all the usual managed-services billing rolled in.
Who benefits
Clients with a serious Apple footprint (Mac-first design studios, education customers, mixed estates with 50 or more Apple devices, professional-services firms where the partners run MacBooks) get the most direct benefit. For everyone else, JAMF sits behind the scenes as one more capability we can bring in if and when the Apple side of the estate grows.
If you are running Apple devices today and not sure whether you are getting the most out of them, the partnership is a good excuse to talk it through.
