iOS Fleet Management Service

The JAMF Pro iOS Management and Application Deployment Service allows departments to centrally manage iPad fleets for instructional or departmental use. This specialized service is only available for iPads that are purchased through the UMD Bookstore's Institutional account and is a fee-based service.

Service Offerings

JAMF Pro iOS Management:

Devices are purchased through the UMD Bookstore's Institutional account and can then be automatically enrolled in the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) as a "fleet". A fleet is defined as a set of iPads that have the same management configuration settings (password requirements, login time out, access restrictions, application suite, etc.); minimum number of devices per fleet is six (6). One JAMF Pro iOS license (annual fee) is required for each device in a fleet.

Application Deployment:

Through the Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP), ITSS will purchase and deploy available applications to a specified fleet of iPads. The applications will be managed through the VPP but are owned by the department. For-pay applications will be billed back to the department at cost.

Rates

Each iPad fleet will be managed and billed as a separate entity.
