Episode 5 - ATAMA - Apple In Business

This week is an "Apple in Business" special! Under the guise of our ATAMA brand (the division of our business that deals with Businesses and Charities) and with a light-hearted outlook, we discuss the role - and growth! - of Apple devices in business, the benefits of this and, of course, how to manage and maintain the devices. Featuring Ross Drummond, Systems Engineer at Jamf and Julian Furne, Sales Manager at ATAMA.

Episode 4 - Jamf - Intro To MDM

This week is all about Apple-specific MDM (Mobile Device Management) - what it is, what it does, why you need it and how to get the best out of it. We talk to Craig Smith (Education Sales Manager) and Ross Drummond (Systems Engineer) from Jamf, and Luke Holdcroft-Young (Education Sales Manager) from Academia about their experiences, best practices and recommendations for managing Apple devices in your estate. This is a must-listen if you have Apple devices and don't currently have MDM in place, and even if you do you'll most likely learn a thing or two!

Episode 3 - Microsoft - Surface Hub 2 (sneak peek), Surface Book 2 and Surface Go

In this episode we get a sneak peek from Microsoft about the new upcoming Surface Hub 2, discuss the success of the Surface Go since our initial Podcast and gain some insight into the use of the Surface Book 2 in Education. This one is a must listen - it's a light-hearted look at the technology and we had a lot of fun recording it, whilst trying to (unsuccessfully) blag freebies from Microsoft! Featuring: Tom Cripps (Microsoft) and Tom Able-Green (Academia)

Featuring Mike Bacon (Managing Director - Academia Group), Steve Patisson (Managing Director - Vital York) and Tom "TAG" Able-Green (Education Solutions Manager/Stats Monkey - Academia).
