What is Jamf
Jamf is an enterprise management and inventory tool for Apple devices which allows IT staff to quickly deploy software required by campus (antivirus, backup, etc), allow computer owners to easily install optional University software (Cyberduck, Box Drive, VLC Player, etc), and let support staff see inventory information and system status for providing help and answering University audits.
