What is Apple DEP?
The Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP), Apple’s primary software for mobile device management, was announced in 2013 and first introduced in 2014.
Apple DEP replaced and unified Apple’s previous device management concepts, such as the Over-the-Air Management Protocol, Configuration Profiles, the Apple Configurator Desktop program, and Supervised Mode, into a single system.
Using DEP, Apple actively supports your company in deploying and configuring mobile devices. In combination with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, Apple enables automatic registration, configuration, and monitoring of Apple devices—without setup services or physical access to the device.
The Device Enrollment Program replaces cumbersome and time-consuming manual imaging and registration processes with out-of-box experiences.
How Does Apple DEP Work?
Apple DEP primarily aims to automate the registration of your smart devices. Previous tools required user or administrator login through a multi-step process that required a USB connection for Supervised Mode. With Apple DEP, those days are over.
Your Benefits with Apple DEP:
- Automatic configuration of newly registered devices
- Automatic registration and simplified integration of your MDM management
- Complete remote device management (data deletion in case of loss or theft)
- Application approvals and restrictions on all smart devices
- Out-of-the-box experiences: Pre-register devices in original packaging and your employees are immediately ready to work
