Jamf brings Android into its Apple MDM orbit – Computerworld

“For years, we’ve helped organizations do more with mobile by focusing on the best platform for work: Apple,” said Henry Patel, chief strategy officer at Jamf. “By adding basic Android enrollment to Jamf for Mobile, we’re enabling Apple-first organizations to eliminate friction — so a few Android devices don’t stand in the way of delivering exceptional Apple experiences at scale.” 

Patel stressed that the upcoming Android support should be considered a positive additive to the company’s existing Apple focus, rather than reflecting any thawing ardor for the company’s computing platforms. “This addition helps us support customers who primarily use Apple, but also have some Android in their environment — without forcing them into a one-size-fits-all UEM platform,” he said.

I expect Jamf wants to approach that challenge with its customary “consumer simple” mindset, intentionally ensuring that supporting Android alongside Apple creates no additional friction and is convincingly easy to use. “Jamf’s commitment to Apple remains unwavering,” he added.
