Known for its consumer products, Apple Inc. is working to make headway into the business sector. Its most recent step involves a partnership with software developer and integrator, Accucode Inc.
Colorado-based Accucode pioneered the “Hardware-as-a-Service” model in the retail, warehouse and transportation industries. Apple announced its agreement with the company last year, with the goal of bringing its devices under Accucode’s unique LaunchPad solution.
According to a press release on PRWeb, LaunchPad provides customers with fully managed iPad Air and iPad mini, 7-inch and 10-inch tablets including configuration, staging and deployment packages. The service includes next-day replacements with the iPad pre-configured specifically for the site, network and users.
“Consumer grade devices were not originally made for enterprise,” says Kevin Reynolds, director of product development at Accucode. “They have a short life span and when they break, they’re more often replaced than fixed.
“We have the skills and resources to image, deploy and support most mobile devices; and we do it with the accuracy and speed required to keep a working device in our customer’s hands.”
Accucode is one of Apple’s first certified re-sellers and partners in the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) industry. The goal of the new arrangement is to make Apple products an affordable and viable option for businesses.
