Case Study: Deputy saves time on Mac deployments and strengthens security with Iru

International SaaS Firm Saves on Mac Deployments, Boosts Security

Deputy, an international SaaS firm providing workforce management services, faced the challenge of efficiently deploying Macs to a globally dispersed and rapidly growing workforce. The company's IT manager, John Howell, sought to save time on deployments, improve visibility into the Mac fleet, and tighten overall security. To meet these goals, Deputy turned to the vendor Iru and its Blueprints for device management.

By implementing Iru, Deputy was able to adopt a largely zero-touch deployment model. This allowed Apple to ship computers directly to new hires anywhere in the world, who were then able to be fully provisioned within ten minutes. Iru provided the necessary visibility and management tools to control applications and enforce security policies. The solution saved Deputy an estimated $1,500 monthly on shipping costs and reduced onboarding time by about two hours per computer, all while strengthening compliance and security across the fleet.
