Buying laptops or Chromebooks is the easy part. Setting up 30, 60, or 200 devices — enrolled in your MDM, configured with the right apps, accounts, and security policies — is where most organisations lose hours of staff time.
Ambiant handles the full supply and deployment process. Devices arrive at your school or business pre-enrolled, pre-configured, and labelled — ready for users to open the box and get started.
