Mindtree enabled a leading global phone producer to develop and implement a scalable Mac suite platform.
The growth of Mac in enterprise segments is 65.4% as compared to an overall 9.7% growth of PCs. In large networks, software distribution and updates are almost always tedious and require a lot of administration resources.
The customer is a global producer of innovative headset and speakerphone solutions. Their headset range has repeatedly been recognized as the gold standard in innovation and design. They wanted a Mac suite platform that can be installed on a large number of computers, using any of the mass deployment tools.
Business challenge
1. Installing software on every single system is time consuming and unproductive.
2. The customer had to reinvest on reskilling their team on Mac.
3. Applications had to be designed for large scale deployment of USB headset solutions, with the focus on Mac customers. In addition, they had to compete directly with another leading headset manufacturer.
