Imaging and Inventory Management
Best Practices
When it comes to deploying standardized workstation images to Mac laptops and desktops, experience can make the difference between a major headache and a project your can point to as a success story. We help you maximize your limited local storage and memory by trimming unneeded resources. We help you make sure there are no "oops" moments after you deploy your systems. We optimize the OS to be sure it is as efficient as it can be in your environment.
By itself, Mac OS X is a very solid operating system. Along with the included software, it offers a great deal out of the box. But it does include everything many users will eventually need in day to day use. We help you add value and utility to your Macs by leveraging the best free software available to augment what came in the box.
Whether you prefer a collaborative process with multiple checks and tests, or you would just like our team of pros to hit a home run for you, we can work to suit your needs.
From One Mac to Thousands
Whether you are planning a rollout of thousands or your needs are relatively modest, we have proven experience to back you up. We specialize in the elimination of the unexpected. We`re the pros to turn to for large one-to-one initiatives, or specialty workstations for design, video, CAD, 3D and more.
Windows On Mac Imaging
We have the tools to help you leverage your existing investment in Windows XP, and to execute rapid dual-OS imaging on your new Intel Macs.
Managing Macs
We offer a wide range of solutions for managing Macs in the enterprise
and in education environments. You can fully leverage the power and
broad suite of services and features available Mac OS X Server, or we
can help you choose from range of best-in-class applications and
technologies. See our OSX Server page for more information.

Hardened Image Deployment
Macprofessionals are expert in the construction of ultra-secure images
for use on your equipment. After all, you`ve spent a great deal of
resources on your new Macs time and money. You want to be sure you`re
getting the most from those investments. We specialize in ensuring that
your offices, labs, and classrooms will not "drift" or "degenerate." We
make sure your equipment stays yours. We deploy state-of-the anti-theft
and theft-recovery technology, anti-intrusion measures, custom
acceptable use login policies, and much more. Out engineering team also
realizes there is a balance between security and utility. We can make
sure you don`t compromise freedom in exchange for robust security.
Asset Management and Beyond
Anyone who has deployed more than just a few Macs can tell you that
success comes down to details. From standard or anti-theft asset tags,
to initial battery priming, to DVD region code setting, to Open
Firmware and EFI locking, we cover all the bases. As an Apple
Authorized Service Provider Plus we can facilitate the
rapid resolution of any units with hardware problems, both during the
initial deployment, and for the life of the product.
Our full array of options includes:
- receiving, storage, and fulfillment
- image creation
- remote image approval
- asset tagging and security tagging
- bagging and mobile cart setups
- machine naming
- dual-boot imaging
- firmware password setting
- DVD region code setting
- directory system binding
- theft prevention software
- rapid DOA resolution
- imaging server setup and training
- onsite quality checks
- removal of old equipment
