Managed device management

Your devices, enrolled, patched, and under control.

Cloudnovi runs device management for Apple-first and mixed teams. We use Jamf for deep Apple management and Fleet for cross-platform estates, then handle rollout, policy, updates, reporting, and ongoing administration.

What we manage

One operating service for the device lifecycle.

We turn enrollment, policy, updates, inventory, and offboarding into recurring work with named owners and visible exceptions.

01

Enrollment and setup

We connect the management platform, define enrollment paths, and prepare devices with the accounts, settings, and applications people need.

02

Security baselines

We apply agreed controls for encryption, passwords, screen lock, operating-system settings, and recovery-key handling.

03

Applications and patches

We maintain approved application packages, update policies, deployment groups, and exceptions that need attention.

04

Inventory and posture

We keep device, software, ownership, and policy status visible so your team can answer security and audit questions with current records.

05

Joiners and leavers

We turn onboarding, role changes, and device retirement into controlled workflows with named customer approvals.

06

Reporting and remediation

We review exceptions, work through approved fixes, and give your team a clear account of device posture and open decisions.

Platform choice

We select the platform around your estate.

Device mix, enrollment, identity, applications, hosting, and security controls decide the platform. We work through those inputs before we recommend Jamf or Fleet.

Apple-first

Jamf

Deep Apple management for teams running Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

  • Apple Business Manager enrollment
  • Configuration, application, and update policy
  • Inventory, groups, and Self Service workflows
  • Optional Jamf security and identity products

We confirm product scope, supported operating systems, hosting region, and subscription terms during assessment.

Cross-platform

Fleet FleetDM

One management layer across macOS, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android.

  • Inventory, policy, queries, and software deployment
  • GitOps workflows for reviewable configuration
  • Cloud or self-hosted deployment options
  • Cross-platform posture and remediation work

We confirm platform support, deployment architecture, and commercial terms before the rollout starts.

Operating model

Assess, design, roll out, operate.

We start with the current estate, test the target setup with a pilot, and move into ongoing management after the controls and support path work as agreed.

01

Assess

We map devices, ownership, locations, identity, applications, current management, and the controls your business needs.

02

Design

We agree enrollment, baselines, update rings, data collection, support boundaries, and the migration or rollout sequence.

03

Roll out

We start with a pilot group, resolve device and application issues, then move the remaining estate in stages.

04

Operate

We maintain policy, handle approved changes, remediate exceptions, and report on the estate through the agreed service rhythm.

Control and privacy

Device access needs explicit rules.

MDM can change settings, install software, lock devices, and issue wipe commands. We define who can act, which data the service collects, and which customer approvals a change requires.

Read our privacy policy

Named administrative access

Cloudnovi grants management access by role and reviews who can change policy or issue device commands.

Approval for destructive actions

An authorized customer contact must approve remote wipe and other destructive device actions through the agreed process.

Agreed data collection

The service collects the inventory, security, and support data defined during onboarding. The scope becomes part of the service record.

Visible change history

We document policy changes, exceptions, remediation work, and decisions so your team can review how the estate is managed.

Scope and proposal

A service shaped around the estate you run.

We scope the service around your device mix, current management platform, rollout or migration work, security requirements, and support coverage. After the assessment, you receive a rollout plan and a monthly managed-service proposal.

Questions

Managed MDM, without hidden assumptions.

Product capability depends on device type, ownership, operating-system version, enrollment, and subscription. We verify those details before we set the scope.

Is Jamf or Fleet the better fit for us?

Jamf suits Apple-first estates that need deep management for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Fleet suits teams that want one control plane across macOS, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android, or that need a self-hosted option. We check device mix, identity, application, hosting, and security requirements before we recommend either platform.

Can Cloudnovi take over our current Jamf or Fleet environment?

Yes, after an access and configuration review. We inventory enrollment methods, policies, groups, scripts, application packages, integrations, administrative roles, certificates, and open exceptions. The takeover plan identifies what Cloudnovi can retain, what needs repair, and which changes need customer approval before ongoing management starts.

Can you migrate devices from another MDM?

We can plan and run a staged migration when the source platform, device ownership, supported operating-system versions, and enrollment method allow it. We start with a pilot, document user actions, protect recovery material, and define rollback or support steps before moving the wider estate. The assessment determines the migration path and expected user impact.

Do you support employee-owned devices?

Jamf and Fleet support forms of bring-your-own-device enrollment, but available controls depend on the platform, operating system, ownership model, and selected subscription. We define the work-data boundary, employee communication, enrollment method, and offboarding procedure before any personal device joins the service.

Can Fleet run in Europe or in our own cloud?

Fleet supports self-hosted deployments, which lets the customer choose the infrastructure and data location. The final design still needs a supported database, cache, TLS, backup, monitoring, upgrades, and a confirmed Fleet commercial model. We cover those decisions during the assessment rather than treating self-hosting as a single checkbox.

How do you scope the managed service and software licenses?

We use device count and operating-system mix, the current management state, rollout or migration work, required controls, support hours, and hosting needs to define the service. The proposal separates onboarding, Cloudnovi management, software subscriptions, and optional security, identity, hosting, or support work so you can see what each part covers.

Can Cloudnovi remotely wipe a device?

A supported platform can issue lock or wipe commands to enrolled devices. Cloudnovi sends a destructive command only after an authorized customer contact approves it through the agreed process. We document device identity, the request, the approver, and the outcome. Platform, enrollment, connectivity, and device state can affect command delivery.

Does the service include employee IT support?

The managed service covers the device-management platform, policy, approved changes, posture review, and remediation defined in the service schedule. General employee help desk, hardware repair, procurement, on-site work, and support outside agreed hours sit outside the base scope unless the proposal includes them.
