Federal procurement offers established paths to buy Apple devices at any scale, from a single purchase card order to a multi-year, multimillion-dollar deployment. Most agencies see only part of that picture because a typical year usually touches just one or two purchase tiers.

A team that starts with a purchase card and ends up planning a multi-year deployment years later should know about the larger contract vehicles that exist when they need them.

AI adoption is accelerating, but many organizations still lack visibility into how AI tools are being used across their fleets.

Traditional device management wasn't built to govern AI. As tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex become part of everyday workflows, organizations need a way to balance innovation with security, compliance, and oversight.

Our latest article explores what AI governance means for device management, why visibility is the first step, and how organizations can begin building a framework for AI governance.

Devices bought without coordination can cause small problems that add up over time, especially as organizations grow.

The things with device deployment that are easy at a small scale can become significant at a large scale. Usually, these problems begin to show themselves in ways like:

• Devices being outside the enrollment pipeline
• Configuration differing from device to device
• Identity integration issues
• Lifecycle planning falling through

Woodland Academy Trust moved to Jamf School to support a 1:1 iPad initiative across five schools. The results speak for themselves:

• Narrowed the achievement gap for disadvantaged students
• Reduced suspensions and increased attendance
• Teachers reported lower workload and more time for instruction
• 92% of students reported feeling less anxious about coming to school after the iPad program launched

This proves purposeful deployment is about what the technology can make possible for institutions.

Jamf is one of the most capable Apple device management platforms available. It’s also configurable enough that the quality of a deployment can depend heavily on who sets it up.

As your business scales, the implementation matters even more. If the implementation isn’t properly matched to your specific needs, it can create problems at scale. So, how do you find the right partner for your implementation?

Look for Jamf certification as a starting point. But certification alone often isn’t enough. Check that your potential partners have experience in similar implementations.

Hardware prices are increasing due to a global memory and storage chip shortage created by AI data center demand. The hardware is the same, but the components inside cost more. If you budget around Apple devices, here are a few things worth knowing:

✔️Upgrade tiers (more RAM, more storage) are most affected by this increase.
✔️Apple was one of the last major manufacturers to pass these costs through to customers.

This is a moment when procurement planning becomes essential. The organizations that plan around this will offset a meaningful portion of the price increases.

Read the full article to learn what’s driving these price increases and how your organization can plan ahead. https://mbsdirect.com/what-the-apple-2026-price-increase-means-for-your-device-budget

What does an Apple IT partner actually do?

Many organizations think about device procurement or deployment first. The reality is that successful Apple environments require much more than getting devices into employees’ hands.

From Apple Business Manager and zero-touch deployment to MDM strategy, compliance, security, lifecycle management, and AI infrastructure planning, MBS helps organizations build and support Apple ecosystems that scale with the business.

If you’re evaluating your Apple strategy or preparing for growth, this article provides a clear look at what MBS actually does and where we create value.
