Last year,Apple has announced that it is developing a whole suite of new features for small businesses. Until now, however, it was necessary to register for the beta version to benefit from it. But a recent press release from the publisher has just announced that the final version is finally available.
The only downside: only residents ofUNITED STATEScan take advantage of it (but there are always tips to get around this limit) and nothing has been communicated regarding a possible deployment date in France or the rest of Europe. Added to this is a second unknown, concerning the release date of an integration with the Google Workspace service which has also just been announced.
To connect more easily
According to Apple, this collaboration between the two offers should allow users to create their account more easily by using identifiers already registered with the competition. Alphabet is not the only partner for the occasion, sinceMicrosoft Azure Active Directoryis also supported. For Workspace, you will have to wait: Apple is only talking about an arrival “later” au “spring“, without saying more.
Tools for the whole team at a reasonable price
Unlike the pricing of its hardware, Apple does not have a habit of overcharging for its plans. The price ofBusiness Essentialstherefore remains quite affordable when starting at$2.99 per monthand per user with 2 TB of storage included on iCloud. By choosing the AppleCare+ option, the amount increases to $9.99 per month per user.
Apple Business Essentials allows a manager to monitor all the applications installed on the different machines in their IT fleet. Not only on macOS, but also for iPads and iPhones. Among the advantages of the offer, we find the possibility of configuring each device,onboarderits employees more quickly or to perform periodic backups of the system for security purposes.
With AppleCare+ included, Cupertino guarantees 24/7 customer service, with the added bonus oftechnicians who can go to company officesif repair is necessary. We are still far from France, where only in-store appointments are accepted. And again: you have to book several days in advance.
