    Volobyte is now an Apple Technical Partner


    Think about your HR onboarding process

    New hire accepts the offer. HR sends the welcome email: "Do you want a Mac or Windows?"

    They pick Mac.

    Boom. Access granted. Device ordered. Apps are configured based on their role.


    What happens next

    Mac arrives. They unbox it, log in with their work email, and they're in.

    Apps available on demand. Sales team? CRM and presentation tools are ready. Engineering? Development environment configured. Finance? Accounting software, nothing else.

    They get exactly what they need for their job. Nothing more. Minimised attack surface. No bloated installs of software they'll never use.


    No admin rights. No exceptions.

    Your users aren't local administrators. They can't install random software without approval. They can't bypass security controls. They can't create the vulnerabilities that lead to breaches.

    That said, when someone genuinely needs admin access to install legitimate software or make system changes, they can request temporary elevation. For 15 minutes. Maybe an hour. With full audit logging of what they did during that window. Far better than giving everyone permanent admin rights 24/7.

    They can still work. They can still get what they need. But every elevation is logged, time-limited, and revocable. You know who had admin access, when they had it, and what they did with it. They're not running with the keys to the kingdom - they're borrowing them, briefly, with a paper trail.


    We maintain it for you

    Security patches? Automatic. OS updates? Tested, staged, deployed. Device stolen? Wiped remotely before coffee break. Employee leaves? Access is revoked the moment HR processes it.

    Your team doesn't think about their Macs. HR doesn't chase IT about setup. IT doesn't manually configure every device.


    Identity integration that scales

    Someone moves from Marketing to Sales? Their apps adjust automatically. Promotion to Finance? Permissions update based on your org structure. Off to parental leave? Access modified appropriately.

    All tied into your identity system. When HR makes changes, devices follow. No manual intervention. No spreadsheets. No security gaps.


    What Apple Technical Partner status means

    Apple doesn't hand this out to just anyone. It's verification that Volobyte meets Apple's standards for deploying and managing Mac fleets at scale.

    We've demonstrated technical capability, proven expertise across multiple deployments, and shown we understand Apple's ecosystem inside out. Apple has validated what we do and how we do it.

    For you, this means we're not figuring it out as we go. We know where Mac management breaks, what scales, and what doesn't. We've done this for companies from 25 to 500+ employees, and Apple has verified we're doing it right.


    Partner benefits you actually care about

    Our partnerships with major MDM platforms mean preferential rates where available. Kandji, Jamf, Microsoft Intune - we work with what fits your needs and can often secure better pricing than going direct.


    Managed Apple IDs

    Your team gets Apple services (iCloud, Notes, Keychain), but data stays in your controlled environment rather than in personal accounts. No company files are scattered across personal iCloud drives.


    What no management actually costs

    50 employees. 30 Macs in your fleet.

    New starter setup: 3 hours of IT time per device. That's 90 hours a year at typical hiring rates.

    Manual patching: 15 minutes per device, per month. That's 90 hours a year chasing people to update.

    Offboarding gaps: One former employee still has Slack access two weeks after leaving. One laptop goes missing with unencrypted company data.

    That's terrible news.

    Someone installs ransomware because they have admin rights. Recovery cost: weeks of downtime, potential data loss, and customer trust gone.


    The actual benefit

    HR asks the question. We handle everything after.

    Device ready before day one. Apps configured for their role. Security is maintained automatically. Access is revoked when they leave.

    Your Mac fleet, managed correctly and without overhead.

    If you're still manually configuring devices, chasing updates, or worrying about what happens when someone leaves with a laptop full of company data - let's talk.


    #!/bin/zsh
    # Check your Mac fleet size
    
    mac_count=50  # Replace with your actual number
    
    if [[ $mac_count -gt 25 ]]; then
        echo "You're managing $mac_count Macs manually?"
        echo "Time to call Volobyte → volobyte.com"
    else
        echo "You've got $mac_count Macs. Might not be chaotic yet... but it will be."
    fi
