“Macs are great, but I can buy two PCs for the same price as one Mac,” is a common mentality within IT departments. When contemplating offering Mac to your workforce, the question of cost inevitably comes up. 'I’ve said it before,” says, IBM’s CIO, Fletcher Previn “when did it become OK to live like the Jetsons at home but the Flintstones at work?” This trend, made possible by the consumerization of IT, has younger, tech-savvy workers demanding to use the hardware they use at home in the workplace - Apple.
Mac has risen in popularity with consumers and users to the point where businesses are not only forced to take notice, but to react by investigating the potential benefits, cost savings and results of offering their employees Apple. And this holds true even with the release of Windows 11, as PC users continue to lag behind on updating their devices, unlike their Mac counterparts. 10 years ago, this may have simply been a time to upgrade to Windows 10, but now, with the rise of Mac in the enterprise, is the perfect time to make a change. It was a pivotal point for organizations and the millions of users leveraging Windows 7 who were forced to assess their hardware and software needs. In January 2020, Microsoft ended its extended support for Windows 7.
