Regional User Conference - Milwaukee

Overview

Please join us for a day of sessions highlighting Apple and JAMF Software technologies, and techniques for their adoption in the enterprise. If you're familiar with our yearly National User Conference, this single-day event will feature abbreviated versions of some of the best presentations from that event. In addition, members of the JAMF Software user community in your area will be presenting, sharing their knowledge and discussing best practices.

All user conferences are free and open to users of JAMF Software technology (Casper Suite, Recon Suite, Imaging Suite and Composer), our partner community, and anyone committed to the success of the Apple platform.

This is a crucial time in the evolution of Mac and iOS devices in the enterprise and we have reached a day that many have long hoped would arrive. Now that the Apple platform is experiencing widespread growth and acceptance, we are committed to help ensure that IT administrators have the knowledge and tools they need to help their peers and organizations succeed with the Apple platform.

Registration

In order to ensure a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere, we are limiting attendance for this event. Please register in advance if you plan on attending.

    The release of OS X Lion presents IT administrators with new options to deploy new machines and bring client machines up to date.

    As organizations discover the expanding uses of iOS devices on a large scale, there are often varying levels of understanding about the management options and workflows available to IT administrators. During this session, we will walk through several example workflows, examining principles and best practives that could be applied to the wide variety of challenges organizations encounter in this emerging space.

    Since the release of the first iPhone, iOS devices have seen an ever-growing presence in enterprise organizations. As the number of iOS devices in an organization increases, IT needs the ability to ensure the necessary applications or "Apps" are available so that end users can accomplish their goals. In this session we will discuss the available tools for App distribution and examine common workflows that many organizations are using.

    With the release of OS X Lion, we're beginning to see elements from the iOS operating system influence OS X, including the Multi-Touch trackpad, Launchpad, iCloud, and the integration of OS X clients into the APNs infrastructure.
