In 2018, Previn announced IBM managed more than 277,000 Apple devices, all supported by 78 staff members. Previn also announced that IBM open-sourced its provisioning process to assist the Mac community in delivering the same new-hire experience as it does with its Mac@IBM program.
This year, Previn announced first-of-its-kind research that shows how Mac enables IBM employees to be more productive, along with improving employee satisfaction and retention. Mac users are happier with the third-party software availability within IBM. Only 5% of macOS users ask for additional software, compared to 11% of Windows users.
It would be very interesting to hear some analysis of cause and effect here as I immediately wonder whether the choice of using a Mac indicates something within the person, or whether its because they end up using a Mac, for example. Often we jump to an obvious conclusion.
