Productivity isn't just about working harder. It's about removing the everyday interruptions that keep employees from doing their best work.

According to a 2026 Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study commissioned by Apple, organizations deploying Mac reclaimed an average of 100 minutes of productive time per employee each month through faster startup, fewer device interruptions, and improved reliability.¹

Across an organization, those productivity gains can create measurable business value.

Productivity Starts with Better Technology

Employees are most productive when technology removes barriers instead of creating them. Fast startup, reliable performance, fewer interruptions, and an intuitive user experience help employees spend more time doing meaningful work and less time waiting on their devices.

Mac helps employees stay productive with:

• Fast processing speeds
• Reliable application performance
• An intuitive user experience
• Long battery life that supports uninterrupted work

Together, these capabilities help employees stay focused and productive throughout the workday.

Simplified IT Management

Mac is designed to be highly manageable, secure, and efficient to deploy at scale. According to a 2026 Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study commissioned by Apple, organizations deploying Mac reported a 55% reduction in support ticket volume.¹

Using Apple Business with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution enables organizations to:

• Automate device setup with zero-touch deployment
• Enforce security and compliance policies
• Manage software updates remotely
• Simplify ongoing device lifecycle management

Together, these capabilities help simplify device support and management while creating a better experience for both employees and IT.

Get Started

Implementing Mac as a Choice is straightforward with the right strategy and support. A successful rollout begins with four key steps.

Engage

Assemble the team that will help bring your program to life. Many organizations begin by identifying an executive sponsor and establishing a program owner and project lead within IT. Include stakeholders across technical, security, HR, finance, procurement, and other key business functions to ensure alignment from the start.

Evaluate

Evaluate your existing environment to understand how Mac integrates with your organization's infrastructure. Review your Wi-Fi, VPN, Microsoft 365, directory services, core business applications, workflows, and intranet to help ensure employees can stay productive from day one.

Establish

Implement a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, such as Microsoft Intune or Jamf, to manage Apple devices at scale. Using Apple Business with your MDM solution helps simplify deployment, provisioning, and ongoing device management while enabling a secure and consistent experience across your organization.

With your management solution and security strategy in place, validate your deployment by testing a variety of user scenarios, locations, device configurations, and network conditions.

Evangelize

You're ready to launch Mac as a Choice.

Develop employee communications, an employee landing page, onboarding resources, how-to guides, videos, and other enablement materials that help employees understand the benefits of choosing Mac and make the transition as seamless as possible.

Mac as a Choice helps organizations create a modern workplace while supporting employee productivity, IT efficiency, and a positive employee experience.
