Enable Apple Custom Enrolment Screens for an Improved Employee Experience

“Custom enrolment screens allow companies to add a personal touch to enrolment and to distribute information to users in a digital, streamlined manner”

Apple released the ability to add your own company branding and Terms and Conditions to the iPhone and iPad enrolment process with iOS 13. This functionality is now available in the VMware Workspace ONE UEM and MobileIron management consoles. 

This is a great new addition from Apple for the following reasons

• Allows enforce policy acceptance for HR and compliance requirements
