Apple Business Essentials now supports non-App Store installs on Macs
Summary
The service already supports Managed Apple IDs and lets you authenticate with Microsoft Azure, Active Directory, and (soon) Google Workplace. The introduction of Packages support makes it possible for IT admins to schedule installation of applications held outside of the App Store onto work-related Macs. • Because packages are a standard Mac technology, they are quite capable of installing associated files into predetermined locations and can make use of pre- and post-installation scripts to automate and customize the task. • There are some slight limitations to the use of packages, which aren’t considered Managed Apps; applications remain installed until the user removes them. Apple’s Mac and iPhone share continues to increase, despite market challenges — and the decision to build a services component into its enterprise offer is already delivering dividends.
