"Those are some of the findings from MacStadium's inaugural CIO survey, which explores the evolution of Apple on the enterprise. The results show rapid Mac deployment across US business in the last two years, with 93% of CIOs claiming increased use, and 59% claiming a significant increase in use of all Apple devices. I caught up with MacStadium CEO Ken Tacelli to get some insight into the data, which was captured by Censuswide."
"93% of CIOs report increased Apple device usage over the past two years. 45% of CIOs describe their leadership's view of Macs as a strategic investment, reflecting growing executive-level buy-in. The top drivers for Apple adoption are security and privacy (59%), employee preference (59%), and hardware performance (54%). Perhaps most importantly, 65% of CIOs say Macs are easier to manage than Windows or Linux devices."
"It shows not only that 96% of US CIOs expect their Mac fleets to grow in the coming 12 to 24 months, but that Apple already accounts for an average of 65% of enterprise endpoints. The adoption is delivering big benefits in productivity, reliability, and employee retention, but as usage grows some of the remaining weak points in what Apple offers to business are emerging."
Mac deployment increased rapidly across US businesses over the past two years, with 93% of CIOs reporting increased Apple device usage and 59% reporting significant increases in all Apple devices. Most CIOs expect Mac fleets to continue growing in the next 12 to 24 months, and Apple already represents about 65% of enterprise endpoints on average. Key adoption drivers include security and privacy, employee preference, hardware performance, and unique technical capabilities. Sixty-five percent of CIOs find Macs easier to manage than Windows or Linux. Adoption yields productivity, reliability, and retention benefits while revealing remaining business-focused weak points.
