Macs Now Preferred in Businesses, Saving $843 per Device Over 3 Years
Apple's Macs have become a staple in businesses worldwide, with 55% of companies either using or approving their use. This shift, driven by employee preference, is due to the devices' cost-effectiveness and wide compatibility with corporate resources.
A recent Forrester report highlights the financial advantage of Macs. The average device lifecycle cost savings for a Mac is $843 over a 3-year period. This is partly due to Macs' longevity and low total cost of ownership.
Macs' compatibility with corporate resources is another key factor. They can seamlessly access most corporate resources such as file sharing, cloud applications, and VPN access. This integration has made Macs a viable option in various sectors like Healthcare, Finance, and Government, moving beyond their initial popularity in creative industries.
Securing Macs in corporate environments is crucial. Solutions like ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus offer patch management support for macOS, along with Windows and Linux. This includes automated detection, testing, and deployment of patches, ensuring the security of all devices in the network.
Macs' popularity in businesses continues to grow, driven by employee preference and financial advantages. With nearly 40 years in the market, Macs have proven their longevity and adaptability. As businesses increasingly adopt Macs, ensuring their security remains a priority.
