IT admins can test Apple Intelligence features ahead of launch
Addigy’s new mobile device management controls empower IT administrators, giving them the capability to test and manage Apple’s upcoming AI features, putting them in control of their systems.
The company has launched new Mobile Device Management (MDM) controls designed for Apple Intelligence. The release immediately aims to provide Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT administrators with the tools necessary to test and manage the upcoming AI features in Apple’s latest operating systems before publicly releasing them.
Addigy’s new controls are helpful for organizations that prepare for these AI integrations. By offering pre-zero-day testing, the company allows IT admins and MSPs to experiment with enabling and disabling Apple Intelligence.
“While Apple Intelligence is an exciting development, many organizations are rightly concerned about potential impacts, said Jason Dettbarn, CEO of Addigy. “Some don’t allow AI on devices. Others want to fully understand its implications before deciding when, or even whether, to enable it – and they don’t want to risk waiting until AI ships to try managing it.”
AppleSeed for IT program
An integral part of the initiative is Apple’s AppleSeed for IT program. It’s a collaboration that gives enterprise customers early access to beta versions of Apple Intelligence.
Through the program, companies can test the AI features in a controlled environment.
For Addigy customers, the integration with AppleSeed for IT means they can use their existing MDM infrastructure to manage Apple Intelligence features.
The program includes testing controls on new iPhone, Mac, and iPad devices during Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) and managing AI settings on existing devices through restrictions profiles and login window keys.
