Mac Onboarding with Alectrona Patch: Curated App Provisioning at Enrollment
Wednesday July 8, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
Day-one Mac provisioning is fiddly: Prestage packages, scripts, install ordering. Mac Onboarding is Alectrona Patch's new MDM-agnostic alternative — declare your day-one apps in a single configuration profile, and Patch handles downloads, sequenced installs, and dependency chains. We'll build it in Patch Desktop and pair it with Setup Your Mac or Jamf Setup Manager so users see install progress and know exactly when their new Mac is ready to use.

A Different Kind of Device Management: Simple, Unified Apple Management at Scale
Wednesday July 8, 2026 3:15pm - 4:30pm EDT
Your Apple device management tool isn’t the real problem. It sits inside a broader endpoint sprawl — multiple tools, multiple consoles, multiple sources of truth. And even within your Apple tooling, complexity piles upon complexity. In this session, Josh Schofield, NinjaOne's VP of Product Management, walks through a fundamentally different approach: unified policy management that works consistently across your entire Apple fleet, from zero-touch enrollment to ongoing compliance.

Note: This session will not be recorded.
