Herholdt’s Group: from hands-on IT to a 50% lighter workload.

South Africa’s biggest importer of renewable-energy products hit a growth spurt, and an IT model that couldn’t keep up.

The challenge

Every install and update meant an admin physically at the machine. With thousands of invoices a day, five minutes of downtime costs real money, so the migration had to be invisible to users and customers.

What we did

Moved the group onto an Apple-first strategy managed with Jamf: zero-touch deployment, one password for everything, and a Self Service catalogue for safe, auto-updating software. Drivers’ iPads were locked to the job, signed delivery paperwork now reaches the account manager and is invoiced within five minutes.

The outcome

A migration booked for six weeks finished in a week and a half, and the team estimates Jamf freed up around half their time, now spent improving infrastructure instead of fixing it. Next: ZTNA, managed BYOD, and an Apple Vision Pro design experience for their containerised-energy division.

The Up & Up Group: security that lets creatives work from anywhere.

Coffee shops, home Wi-Fi, unsecured networks, “an absolute minefield.” They needed enterprise-grade security without disrupting how creatives actually work.

The challenge

A creative group whose people work from anywhere needed enterprise-grade security that wouldn’t get in the way, and onboarding that didn’t swallow IT’s week every time someone joined.

What we did

Built on Jamf: zero-touch enrolment that keeps the Apple unboxing moment, Jamf Connect single sign-on, and an app catalogue that updates silently, plus Jamf Protect (EDR) and Jamf Trust (zero-trust network access) feeding one real-time dashboard.

The outcome

From 250 devices to nearly 500 on one platform: security, access, workflows, and backups. The same or better protection with far less overhead, and staff log in from anywhere in the world. In their words: a one-stop shop for reducing business risk.
