Hi all
I'm aware that the official training and customer events will propose a number of actions for you to take.
This is intended to be a conversation starter for deployment of MaaS360 in terms of what you need to do to get up and running.
Here's my contribution based on my years with the product. Feel free to respond and agree or disagree.
Please remember - this doesn't have to be exhaustive or detailed or even contain detailed steps, it's just a high level (design) approach.
Proposed sequence for deployment
- Get account set up: set up trial account, or if customer confirm licences.
- Set up for enrolling devices: for Android (tablets and phones), set Android Enterprise; for Apple (Mac/iPad/iPhone), create APNS.
- Perform trial device enrollment and note steps for your later testing and user rollout
- Configure settings on portal: Setup / Settings pages
- Test security policies and compliance rules on devices (see impact of configuration changes)
- Distribute apps and observe silent vs. user-interaction app installs
- Review testing sequence and prepare for production rollout
- Deploy to production and review configuration ongoing
- Where possible deploy automated device enrollment systems: Apple DEP, Samsung KME, Android ZT, Windows OOBE etc.
- Set a review date and come back to review overall deployment and report on success.
Do you agree with the sequence, would you change it? What would you add or remove?
Over to you....
