Key Takeaways:

100+ MacBooks fully deployed and centrally managed

Transition from retail purchases to enterprise Apple leasing

Scalable support with AppleCare, Jamf Pro, Connect & Protect licenses

Zero-Touch Deployment enabled for global teams

Opportunity:

To support their growing global teams and streamline Apple operations, a technology outsourcing company partnered with Brilyant with three key goals:

Replace ad hoc retail purchases with a unified Apple deployment model
Centralize provisioning and improve visibility across global operations
Reduce IT overhead and improve onboarding consistency

This initiative was sparked by the need to scale efficiently while improving control, compliance, and user experience.

Key Strategy:

Brilyant began by evaluating the client’s decentralized Apple purchase process and onboarding model. Devices were being bought via retail stores with no enrollment or deployment strategy.

To meet their global scaling goals, Brilyant implemented a three-step execution plan:

Discover and Analyze:

The initial audit revealed that MacBooks were being procured informally, without any visibility into inventory, usage, or compliance. Devices were not enrolled into Apple Business Manager and had no unified security layer, making global scaling unmanageable.

Brilyant recommended replacing the current model with a structured deployment plan, enabling device visibility, secure provisioning, and consistent onboarding through Zero-Touch Deployment.

Model:

Brilyant delivered a modern deployment model tailored for global scale:

Replaced retail purchases with Apple leasing via Tata Capital
Enabled Jamf Pro, Jamf Connect, and Jamf Protect licenses for unified control
Centralized Jamf management from India for better oversight
Delivered AppleCare for Enterprise to extend device lifecycle support

This model ensured secure, scalable operations across offices in Dallas, Pune, and beyond.

Execute and Deliver:

As an Apple Authorized Enterprise Reseller, Brilyant delivered pre-configured, secure MacBooks using Zero-Touch Deployment—ensuring global teams could start working without delays.

By setting up centralized management and licensing, Brilyant enabled the client to maintain seamless operations, reduce IT intervention, and support global scaling with minimal disruption.
