The Apple Watch has become increasingly popular since its launch, offering a range of features that make it more than just a timepiece. For businesses, the watch can provide numerous benefits, from accessing emails and messages to supporting daily work with deployment lists. However, using smartwatches in the workplace requires careful consideration and planning to ensure that they are integrated effectively and securely.
A new Mac & i webinar aims to answer some of the questions that businesses may have when it comes to using Apple Watches in the workplace. The webinar, entitled “Apple Watch in company use”, is directed towards system and network administrators as well as IT managers in companies. Led by mobile device specialist and technical author Mark Zimmermann, the webinar provides valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of incorporating the Apple Watch into a company’s device management system.
One of the challenges that arises when using the Apple Watch in a business setting is that it cannot be integrated into MDM systems for device management. This means that implementing the watch into daily operations will require additional considerations and adaptations from businesses. Zimmermann discusses these challenges in depth in the webinar, providing valuable insight into how to effectively incorporate the watch into the company’s daily operations.
The webinar aims to offer practical applications of the watch in the workplace. Zimmermann outlines the most important productivity functions of the device, and provides real-world examples of how these functions can be used in the corporate environment. He also provides guidance on how to handle and use a comparatively young device category in a business setting.
The webinar lasts for 90 minutes, starting at 10 am on April 18th, 2023. Attendance is easily possible online, with questions able to be asked via chat. Following the webinar, attendees will have unlimited access to the video recording and materials provided. The ticket price is 129 euros, though those with the new Mac & i Pro subscription for admins and developers can attend for free. The subscription offers access to a total of 24 webinars per year.
Overall, the Apple Watch offers significant potential benefits for businesses in terms of productivity and occupational safety. However, careful planning and implementation are required to ensure that the watch is used effectively and securely in a business setting. The upcoming Mac & i webinar aims to provide practical advice and guidance for businesses looking to incorporate the watch into their daily operations.
