Mac Admins Podcast

Fall is that time of the year when we can take stock of the latest Apple releases, measure them against what our expectations were, and see how much tech debt piled up trying to keep up with Apple! We’ll talk through what that looks like from the perspective of an MDM vendor in today’s episode, with Jason Dettbarn, from Addigy.

“Digital transformation” can mean a lot of things to different people. In this episode we unpack it, look at how it helps drive Apple adoption, and maybe get productive (which doesn’t often seem to be the goal of digital transformation but should be).

We have had so many wonderful guests on the Mac Admins Podcast, telling us about things they have created, workflows they have implemented or products they have integrated in their environments. It can be overwhelming to look at your own setup and want it to look like all the things you may have heard about here, or read about on slack, or watched someone present about at one of the many Mac Admins conferences around the world. Today we are going to talk about some tips that may help you to implement change.
