“Those Windows XP boxes may still be whirring away in the forgotten corners, but Apple’s slice of the enterprise market has doubled across the last three years, JAMF Software will reveal, in a report to be published tomorrow,” Jonny Evans reports for Computerworld.
“The company commissioned Dimensional Research to survey IT executives at enterprise firms across the USA, finding that the number of Apple products used in these firms has reached new highs, driven by the popularity of its solutions among employees,” Evans reports. “9 out of 10 companies officially support Apple products – iPhones (91%), iPads (89%) and Mac computers (60%).”
“We’re not talking about a few devices, either: around 60 percent of enterprises support over 100 Apple devices while ‘nearly 2 in 10’ support a thousand Apple devices or more. 6 percent of those surveyed support over 5,000 Apple devices,” Evans reports. “This is a big change. In 2011 67 percent of companies said Apple comprised under 10 percent of end user devices. These days 35 percent say 25 percent of end user devices come from Cupertino.”
