JAMF Software Brings New Management Capabilities to Support OS X Yosemite

Casper Suite Allows IT to Embrace the Latest Technology From Apple With Best-in-Class Mac Client Management

London, UK- Oct 16, 2014- JAMF Software, the leader in Apple device management, today announced the new release of its flagship solution the Casper Suite to provide immediate, same-day support for Apple OS X Yosemite. The move enables users to continue to adopt the very latest in Apple technology with OS X Yosemite’s new enterprise enhancements for Mac.

As user adoption of Apple technology continues to grow within organizations, so does the need for appropriate management tools for IT to support them. However, as Macs have different underlying architectures than iPads and iPhones, management of the full Apple platform requires a solution that goes beyond typical MDM and multi-platform options.

Enter the Casper Suite, which provides best-in-breed full Apple device management with robust inventory, deployment and security capabilities that go beyond those offered by basic MDM and multi-platform tools. For more than 12 years, thousands of organizations worldwide have relied on the Casper Suite to manage Mac, iPad, and iPhone within their schools and businesses, as well as keep up with new Apple operating system updates hassle-free.

With today’s release of the Casper Suite, organizations can now take advantage of Yosemite’s latest features, which include powerful enterprise enhancements: new MDM commands, and tighter integration with iPad, iPhone, and Mac with Apple Continuity—an exciting concept that lets users enjoy a more seamless workflow across devices. Yosemite also includes new productivity features for mail, messaging and calling, and Airdrop.

Pricing and Availability The latest version of the Casper Suite is available as a free upgrade for all customers. Those interested in the Casper Suite may contact JAMF Software to receive information about evaluating the product in their organization.
