The MDS Pilot+ service is designed to comprehensively test and validate the deployment and integration of Apple devices within your organisation’s IT ecosystem. This enhanced pilot program focuses on advanced security measures, complex application configurations, certificate management, and custom script developments. It is essential for ensuring a smooth transition to full-scale deployment by addressing real-world challenges, improving user satisfaction, and refining deployment strategies. The pilot typically takes between 80 to 160 hours and involves collaboration with a senior decision maker, security team(s), end-user support team, and vendors.
