Enabling a future-proof all-Apple workplace for ACEG with secure, automated device deployment
The Client
ACEG is a high-growth technology consultancy operating across multiple European markets, delivering cloud consulting, managed services, and digital transformation solutions. With a modern, distributed workforce and a strong focus on employee experience, ACEG places high importance on providing reliable, high-quality devices that support flexible and hybrid ways of working.
The Challenge
As ACEG continued to scale, its existing device strategy — a mix of platforms supported by manual provisioning processes — became increasingly inefficient. Device setup was time-consuming, configurations were inconsistent, and managing security across a growing endpoint estate placed unnecessary strain on internal IT teams.
ACEG made a strategic decision to standardise on Apple devices to improve performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. However, moving to an all-Apple environment required a secure, automated, and scalable approach to deployment and management that ACEG did not have in place internally.
Key Challenges
- Fragmented device estate and manual provisioning processes
- Inconsistent configurations across endpoints
- Need to secure devices without impacting user experience
- Growing hybrid workforce requiring scalable endpoint management
- Desire to adopt a future-proof, all-Apple strategy
The Solution
CWSI worked closely with ACEG to design and deliver a secure, automated all-Apple workplace. The solution focused on simplifying device deployment while embedding strong security controls and lifecycle management from day one.
By combining Apple’s native deployment capabilities with CWSI’s expertise in secure device onboarding and management, ACEG was able to automate provisioning, enforce consistent configurations, and significantly reduce operational overhead for its IT team.
Solution Components
- Implementation of Apple Business Manager (ABM)
- Centralised device management through a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform
- Secure configuration and policy enforcement across all Apple devices
- Role-based provisioning and zero-touch deployment
- Knowledge transfer and enablement for ACEG’s internal IT team
The Result
ACEG successfully transitioned to a fully managed all-Apple device environment that delivers a consistent, secure, and high-quality user experience. Automated provisioning reduced manual effort and errors, while standardised configurations improved security and compliance across the endpoint estate.
The new model also supports faster onboarding for new employees and provides a scalable foundation for ACEG’s continued growth and hybrid working strategy.
Key Outcomes
- Standardised Apple device deployment across the organisation
- Automated provisioning reducing manual setup and support effort
- Improved security posture through consistent endpoint configuration
- Faster onboarding for new hires and remote workers
- Enhanced employee experience and device reliability
