Enterprise deployment models
Overview
iOS devices can transform your business. They can signicantly boost productivity and give your
employees the freedom and exibility to work in new ways, whether in the oce or on the go.

better access to information, so they feel empowered and are able to creatively solve problems.

world problems, rather than xing technology and cost-cutting. Ultimately everyone benets,
with a reinvigorated workforce and new business opportunities everywhere.
Whether you’re a large or small organization, there are many easy ways to deploy and manage
iOS devices and content.
Start by identifying the best deployment models for your organization. Apple provides dierent
deployment and management tools, depending on the model you choose.
Deployment models
In enterprise, there are three common deployment models for iOS devices:
•
Personalized device (BYOD)
•
Personalized device (corporate-owned)
•
Non-personalized (shared device)
While most organizations have a preferred model, you may encounter multiple models within
your organization.
For example, a retail organization may deploy a personalized device (BYOD) strategy by allowing
employees to set up their personal iPads while keeping corporate resources separate from the
user’s personal data and apps. However, their retail stores may also deploy a non-personalized
device (shared device) strategy allowing iPod touch devices to be shared by several employees in
order to process transactions for customers.
Exploring these models in more detail will help you identify the best deployment model for your
unique environment.
Personalized device (BYOD)
With a bring-your-own-device deployment, users set up their personal iOS devices using their
own Apple ID. In order to access corporate resources, users can congure settings manually,
install a conguration prole, or more commonly, enroll the iOS device with your organization’s
MDM solution.
