Make your investment count with Apple

Apple technology holds significant value over time with its reduced IT support costs, durability and high residual value, making it ideal for charities. And when it’s time to upgrade, you can trade in your device, allowing charities to recoup costs and reinvest in new technology.

Enhance productivity.

Provide the tools that your employees are familiar with, use at home and love. It will enable them to be more productive and work with devices that are best for them.

Compatibility.

Apple devices are compatible with most in-demand third-party software and tools used by Charities, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom and many more.

Deploy at scale. Onboard at speed.

Zero-touch deployment and robust management features on Apple technology save costs and time, so IT teams can get staff up and running quickly.

Sweeping security.
Built in.

Apple technology comes with state-of-the-art features that make it simple to protect your data and devices. And built-in frameworks enable IT to manage security system-wide. Together, Apple hardware, software and services make advanced security seamless.

Secure talent and become a
“Great place to work."

Faulty and poor tech demotivates employees, which in turn generates poor productivity and damages staff retention. Provide an Apple choice programme to help secure existing talent and encourage new people to join your charity.

Support and Training.

Apple devices are covered with AppleCare – a one-stop shop for service and support from Apple experts. And Apple offers professional training for IT teams with foundational to advanced content for deploying and managing Apple devices at scale.
