Apple devices need Apple-native management

Jamf is built for Apple. Whether you run a school fleet or a growing business with Macs and iPads, the right Jamf platform lets you enrol devices automatically, ship apps and settings, and keep security baselines consistent.

Jamf Pro is the flagship for both education and business when you need maximum control and automation. Jamf School and Jamf Now are focused, approachable options for K–12 and small business respectively — simpler to start, still powered by Apple’s management strengths.

New Gauge Digital implements all three as clear projects: design, configure, train, and hand over so your team can operate day to day. We align Jamf with Apple Business Manager / Apple School Manager, zero-touch enrolment, and related tools such as Lightspeed or UniFi when needed.

Three platforms. One Apple-first approach.

Pro is the flagship for depth. School and Now are focused, user-friendly paths for education and small business — choose the fit, not a one-size product.

Jamf Pro — the flagship for schools and business

Jamf Pro is Jamf’s complete Apple device management platform. It is the right choice when education or business fleets need enterprise-grade automation, scripting and policies, rich Self Service, security baselines, and deep integrations — not only basic enrolment.

Schools with complex multi-campus or mixed Mac/iPad estates, and growing organisations standardising on Apple, both land on Pro when “simple MDM” is no longer enough.

What Jamf Pro is known for

  • Zero-touch deployment

    Provision Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV with hands-free enrolment — including patterns for BYOD where required.

  • Smart Groups & inventory

    Dynamic groups of devices and users, with automatic hardware, software, and security inventory.

  • Blueprints & automation

    Simplify settings, apps, restrictions, and commands — including Declarative Device Management approaches.

  • Self Service & apps

    Put apps and updates in users’ hands while IT keeps control of distribution and lifecycle.

  • Security baselines

    Harden devices with compliance-oriented configurations and remote commands without waiting on users.

Jamf School — focused, user-friendly MDM for K–12

Jamf School is the approachable Apple MDM built for education. It gives IT control, supports teachers in the classroom, and keeps student access to learning resources reliable — without requiring a full enterprise console when a school-focused platform is the better fit.

When a school later needs deeper automation or mixed organisational complexity, Jamf Pro remains the flagship path upward.

What Jamf School is known for

  • Automated enrolment

    Streamline enrolment and help keep school devices under management.

  • Zero-touch deployment

    Enrol and configure at first use with minimal IT touch — ideal for large iPad and Mac rollouts.

  • App management

    Automate deployment, patching, and permissions so curriculum apps are ready for class.

  • Role-based administration

    Give the right people temporary admin access when needed.

  • Smart Groups

  • Classroom management

    Support focused lessons with classroom tools that help teachers lead the room.

Jamf Now — focused, user-friendly MDM for small business

Jamf Now is the power of Apple MDM scaled for small business. When your team is growing and Apple devices are part of daily work — but you do not need the full enterprise console — Now is the straightforward path to set up, manage, and secure work Macs and iOS devices.

It sits beside Jamf School as a focused platform: simple where it should be simple, still built on Apple management strengths. When an SMB outgrows Now, Jamf Pro is the natural flagship step up.

What Jamf Now is known for

  • Setup

    App distribution, email configuration, zero-touch deployment, and Blueprints so devices land ready for work quickly.

  • Manage

    Inventory, custom and third-party apps, OS updates, custom profiles, Self Service, and password standards — without drowning in complexity.

  • Secure

    Passcode requirements, disk encryption (FileVault), web protection, malware prevention controls, and remote lock for lost or stolen devices.

Jamf Now in practice

A strong fit for growing SMBs, multi-site trades offices, and teams standardising on Apple without enterprise overhead.

Frequently asked questions

Jamf Pro, School, or Now — which do we need?

Pro is the flagship for schools and businesses that need full depth. School is the focused education platform. Now is the focused small-business platform. We recommend based on fleet size, staffing, automation, and growth — not a one-size answer.

Can a school use Jamf Pro?

Yes. Many education environments use Pro when they need advanced automation, scripting, or enterprise-style workflows. School remains the user-friendly education-focused option when that is the better fit.

Is Jamf Now only for tiny teams?

Now is aimed at small businesses that want simple, effective Apple management. As requirements grow — deeper automation, complex integrations, larger fleets — Pro is the natural next step.

Do you set up Apple Business Manager as well?

Yes. Zero-touch only works when Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, device supervision, and Jamf are aligned. We treat that as part of a proper deployment.

Can this work with Lightspeed?

Often yes. Many schools use Jamf for Apple management and Lightspeed for filtering, classroom tools, and student safety. We design the boundaries so tools support each other.

What happens after go-live?

Your team owns day-to-day administration after training and handover. If you need changes later, we can scope a follow-on project.

Are you part of Jamf?

No. We are an independent professional services firm. Jamf, Jamf Pro, Jamf School, and Jamf Now are trademarks of Jamf. Product descriptions summarise public Jamf positioning; final designs are site-specific.
