Apple devices in the workplace, without the IT headaches.
From procurement through to lifecycle management, ARP helps you deploy and manage Apple devices securely, efficiently, and at scale.
Apple devices are becoming increasingly common in the workplace. A growing number of employees prefer working with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, drawn by the familiar, intuitive experience and the freedom to choose the device that suits them best. At the same time, introducing Apple devices into an existing IT environment can raise practical questions. As an Apple Business Partner, we help organisations address those challenges with confidence.
By combining Apple hardware with our own services, we make it easy to deploy and manage Apple devices within your existing IT environment. From consultancy and delivery to zero-touch deployment, device management, support, repairs, and lifecycle services, ensuring Apple becomes a natural part of the modern workplace.
Apple devices as part of the modern workplace.
Many ARP customers wonder whether Apple devices will fit seamlessly into their existing IT environment. How are they managed? Does it make financial sense? And how do we ensure they don't become a separate island within the wider IT environment?
Good news: Macs, iPhones, and iPads can now be integrated seamlessly into existing IT environments. The focus has shifted from whether Apple devices can be integrated to how to introduce them in a smart and straightforward way. That requires a partner who looks beyond the device itself. Our whitepaper explains how ARP supports organisations throughout the process.
How ARP can help in practice.
Supplying Apple devices is only the first step. Ensuring they are successfully integrated into your organisation is just as important. ARP supports your organisation throughout the entire Apple device lifecycle.
1. Apple hardware and consultancy.
Not every employee needs the same device. That’s why we start by looking at your organisation, workplace requirements, and the needs of different user groups. What role should Mac play within your workplace strategy? Where does iPad fit in? How can iPhone support a mobile workforce? And how do you ensure Apple is the right choice from both a practical and financial perspective? ARP helps you make the right decisions. Not through one-size-fits-all recommendations, but through advice tailored to your organisation.
2. Zero-touch deployment and MDM.
New devices need to be deployed quickly, securely, and without unnecessary complexity. With zero-touch deployment and mobile device management (MDM), Apple devices can be prepared, deployed, and managed centrally. Employees receive a ready-to-use device, while IT retains full control over configurations, policies, updates, and compliance. This eliminates manual installations, inconsistent processes, and unnecessary administrative effort.
3. Assessment and visibility.
Want to understand where your organisation stands today? ARP helps you assess your current device landscape, management environment, and overall Apple readiness. What is already working well? Where are the risks? What steps are needed to deploy Apple at scale while maintaining control? That means decisions are based on insight rather than assumptions. One way we do this is through a readiness review.
4. Support and repair (AASP).
A modern workplace needs to keep running smoothly. That's why ARP continues to provide support, repairs, and service management long after implementation. Repairs, configurations, and logistics processes are handled through specialised service facilities. This minimises disruption and helps employees get back to work quickly.
5. Mac as a Service.
Mac as a Service gives you a predictable cost model for Apple devices. The investment is spread across the lifecycle of the device, while giving you greater control over replacement, lifecycle management, and residual value. When you look beyond the initial purchase price and consider factors such as lifespan, support requirements, and residual value, Apple can prove to be a strategically sound investment.

6. Consultancy and strategic advice.
Successfully introducing Apple devices is about more than IT alone. It also involves HR, Finance, security, adoption, and governance. ARP helps bring these interests together. How do you build support across the organisation? How do you maintain consistency and control? How do you establish an effective management framework? And how do you make Apple part of your wider workplace strategy?
