There are 1.3 BILLION Apple devices in the world right now, TexasGunLover, which hold the highest resale value of all computers and mobile devices. . . and IBM is switching over entirely to Apple devices and finding they are saving $535 per computer compared PCs when using Macs.
IBM says it is 3X more expensive to manage PCs than Macs
Up to $535 saving per MacIBM today told the record-setting seventh Jamf Nation User Conference that it is saving even more money by deploying Macs across the company than it thought: each Mac deployment saves the company up to $535 over four years, in contrast to the $270 per Mac it claimed last year.
Thats a hugely significant statistic for any Mac user and follows extensive use of the platform by IBM. IBM VP of Workplace as a Service, Fletcher Previn, told the conference that 90,000 employees are now using Macs, up from 30,000 in 2015. 100,000 of IBMs global workforce will be using Macs by the end of the year, he said, and the number is climbing. (That number was over 225,000 at the end of 2017Swordmaker)
There are lots of reasons for this, not least that better OS software means Apple needs to update its systems far less often than Microsoft updates Windows. "We have to go out and manage the Mac environment 104 fewer times a year than PC, Previn said. (Emphasis mineSwordmaker). . ."
. . ."This is fully in line with experiences shared in 2015, when Previn said just 5 percent of IBMs Mac users needed to call the help desk; In contrast, an astonishing 40 percent of PC staff request tech support help. At IBM last year (2015) just 25 staff supported 30,000 Macs.
That's working out to over $50 million dollars per year internal savings on tech support after getting rid of the Windows computers and non-Apple mobile devices devices for over 220,000 employees, Texas.
So, I guess I will go with the professional people who REALLY do work with the real numbers of Apple devices in the Enterprise and publish their results, not some made up claims.
Apple devices have the lowest repair rate and the highest user satisfaction rate of all computers and mobile devices. In the same article linked above, IBM "reports a hugely impressive '91 percent user satisfaction' from its Mac users."
So, Tex, I think you really do not know what you are talking about.
