macOS: developing without ageing

macOS has always done something unusual in the IT world: evolve radically while still feeling unmistakably like itself. Underneath the polished surface lies a Unix foundation that developers appreciate for its flexibility and familiar tooling, while designers enjoy the tight integration with Apple's broader ecosystem. This combination created a user group that knows their machines exceptionally well — which in turn raises the bar for IT. Supporting macOS isn’t just about keeping systems stable; it’s about maintaining a workflow that blends creativity, engineering discipline and seamless user experience. And thanks to the compatibility of the macOS shell with classic Unix tools, the line between workstation and development environment often becomes pleasantly blurry.

Windows, the modular powerhouse

If macOS is known for consistency, Windows is known for possibility. Its open hardware ecosystem means machines can scale from ultra‑portable notebooks to multi‑GPU editing monsters, making it a natural fit for demanding workloads like 3D rendering or high‑bitrate video tasks. Over the last few years, Windows made a curious shift: more locked down for consumers, yet slightly more flexible for professionals, thanks to features like Linux subsystem integrations and distro availability via the Microsoft Store. That mix of openness and structure is exactly what makes Windows appealing in heterogeneous IT environments — especially when custom workstation tuning or very specific driver stacks are required.

MDM: one ecosystem, two specialists

Mobile Device Management has grown into the backbone of every modern IT environment — especially when multiple platforms need to coexist gracefully. Jamf Pro remains the gold standard for managing Apple systems with a level of depth and elegance that mirrors Apple’s own philosophy. On the other side, Microsoft Intune has evolved into a powerful, cloud first management layer that extends naturally across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. What makes the combination compelling is how differently the two tools think: Jamf Pro goes deep into Apple’s native frameworks, while Intune brings strong identity driven governance through Azure AD. Choosing between them often comes down to the environment — but increasingly, companies realize they don’t have to choose at all.

Integrating Jamf Pro & Intune: when identity meets device depth

Bringing Jamf Pro and Intune together creates a management model that blends Apple‑native control with Azure AD‑driven security. The integration is essentially about establishing mutual trust so that each system can do what it does best: Jamf handles device‑level configuration, while Intune ensures compliance and ties everything into Microsoft’s identity and conditional access ecosystem.

In practical terms, the setup usually follows a clear sequence: Jamf Pro connects to Azure AD, receives a trusted app registration, and gains the ability to feed device compliance data back into Intune. Once trust is established, macOS devices enrolled via Jamf Pro can participate fully in Intune‑based conditional access — without losing any of the richer Apple‑specific management features. The result is a hybrid approach that feels remarkably natural: best‑of‑breed Apple management, combined with enterprise‑grade security and governance.
