GroundControl – By Aaron Freimark, GroundControl
GroundControl creates powerful automated solutions for managing mobile devices in modern enterprises. Specializing in Apple iPhone and iPad, our software helps regulated industries enhance their current MDM to maintain the highest standards for provisioning, asset management, privacy, and security.
Prepare your iOS devices in bulk, straight from the box, with literally zero taps. GroundControl will skip all setup screens; enroll in your MDM, update, and personalize multiple devices at once. Reduce 100 steps to 1 step. Easily create workflows once, and deploy anywhere in the world. Our Workflow Editor requires no coding and minimal expertise. Trigger anything — from iOS updates to full erase and re-provisioning — to run manually or automatically.
When deployments are very similar, but not identical, custom attributes allow you to create placeholders in your workflows for the campus, building, timezone, group, and user. This keeps workflows simple and scalable. There are no limits to the number of devices, users, administrators or workflows with GroundControl. Manage hundreds of locations and deploy in parallel anywhere around the globe.
