“Why switch?” It’s a question Robert Kroger hears a lot these days. As Apple Business Manager at iStore Business, he’s well-practised at making the business case for switching from legacy PC systems to Mac in the corporate IT environment.
According to a 2021 case study by iStore Business, which currently supports and supplies more than half of the Top 100 Companies in South Africa, employees in a Mac-centric organisation report 90% user satisfaction with their devices, along with a productivity gain of more than 230 hours per year. That’s in part because the costs of deploying, provisioning, and supporting Mac devices are significantly lower than the costs for PCs.
That ease of setup is matched by ongoing ease of support, with updates and security fixes pushed remotely to devices, be they iMacs or MacBooks or iPads or even the Apple TV in the boardroom. In a Mac environment, “It just works” means just that, thanks to the efficiencies of the hardware and software ecosystem.
