About Jamf
Apple device management built for orgs that run on Apple hardware.
Jamf was founded in 2002 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and is now headquartered in Minneapolis. The company went public on Nasdaq in July 2020 under ticker JAMF, and in January 2026 announced its acquisition by Francisco Partners for around 2.2 billion dollars. By end of 2022 Jamf reported roughly 71,000 active customers and about 30 million managed Apple devices, with a customer base that leans heavily into Apple-first enterprises, K-12 and higher education, and healthcare. Around the core of computers, mobile devices, users, configuration profiles, policies, applications and smart groups sit Jamf Pro for full device management, Jamf School for K-12, Jamf Now for small fleets, Jamf Connect for identity on the Mac and Jamf Protect for endpoint security.
Where Microsoft Intune treats macOS and iOS as a second tier next to Windows, Jamf was built Apple-first and tracks new OS releases and Declarative Device Management on Apple's calendar. That is also what makes the data interesting to report on. The Jamf admin console answers "which devices are out of compliance right now". The harder questions, like how the average age of laptops in finance compares to the replacement budget, what share of the iPhone fleet is still running an OS version Apple no longer patches, or whether BYOD enrolment lines up with the policy your security team published, sit across Jamf and the systems around it. Pulling Jamf into a warehouse is how IT, security and finance stop running those numbers out of CSV exports the week before the steering committee.
