Introducing the Jamf Adapter for Flexera One

Ask any IT professional about Apple in ITAM and you’ll hear the same thing. Managing Macs with the same precision we have with Windows is hard. So what’s the solution? Flexera’s Jamf Adapter. But what is Jamf?

Jamf

Jamf is a leading solution for managing Apple devices, offering robust security and automation capabilities tailored for macOS environments. By leveraging the Jamf Adapter, organizations can integrate Jamf’s detailed device insights such as hardware specifications, installer evidence, and OS evidence directly into Flexera’s ITAM platform.

Jamf solves Apple endpoint management and security; Flexera One solves asset intelligence at scale.
