Unlocking the Future of Learning: What Jamf’s Acquisition of Identity Automation Means for Your School System
In today’s classrooms, digital identity is more than just a login—it’s the foundation of a student’s learning journey. From signing in to apps, accessing coursework, or switching between devices, students and educators need seamless, secure access to the tools that power teaching and learning. That’s why we’re excited to share what Jamf’s acquisition of Identity Automation means for your school system.
One Identity, Everywhere Learning Happens
Learning doesn’t just happen in one place or on one device. A student might begin a project on a classroom iPad, continue it on a Chromebook or Windows laptop at home, and present it from a MacBook in the media center. Identity Automation has always made sure users can access what they need, when they need it—safely and seamlessly. Now, with Jamf, we’re taking that one step further.
While Jamf is the leader in Apple device management for education, today’s schools support diverse device environments. With the integration of Identity Automation, Jamf extends identity beyond the device, anchoring it directly to the individual—wherever learning takes place. Regardless of the platform or device, students and educators remain protected and focused on what matters most: learning.
