			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the release of Lion Server Apple took great strides in integrating the iOS &#8220;atmosphere&#8221; into their server technology.  With 95% of Fortune 500 companies deploying either the iPhone or iPad into their business, Apple knew they would need a way to &#8220;manage&#8221; their devices in the &#8220;wild.&#8221;  While there are many great 3rd party Mobile Device Managers (MDM) out there, with every upgrade release of Lion Server their own MDM gets even better.</p>
<p>In the screenshot below you can see the basic&#8217;s of their Profile Manager.  What this allows the business to do is create profiles that are installed on any iOS device that will control certain aspects of that device &#8211; such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, VPN, etc.  Once you install the profile on the device or Mac it asks the end user for simple things, such as their username, password, e-mail address, etc leaving out the more complex things such as incoming or outgoing mail server, ssl or not, port numbers, etc.  What this allows for is easier and quicker deployments of devices on your network while allowing you to keep all the technical settings away from your end user.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-973" title="Profile Manager Home" src="http://www.icoreconsultants.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/profilemanager.png" alt="Profile Manager in Lion 10.7.3" width="600" height="401" /></p>
<p>With the Devices section it allows the control of the device at the lowest level possible, including installing App&#8217;s, remote wipe or lock, and general detailed information about the device.  Any change made at the device level is automatically &#8220;Pushed&#8221; out to all devices in that group.  Say for instance you have 400 iPad&#8217;s in the &#8220;wild&#8221; and you want them all to get a new app but they are all in different locations through the world. All your network admin would need to do is add it on the device group section and that app would automatically appear on their devices, once they were on a network. If the device gets lost or stolen you could remote lock or wipe the device and all information would be protected from anyone else seeing it.</p>
<div class="info">Profiles not only work on any iOS device but also any Mac running 10.7 lion.  So deployment of Mac&#8217;s can be just as easy and setup time can be cut by 95%.</div>
<p>As you can see this is just a brief overview of what Apple has built into Lion Server Profile Manager but configured the right way with profiles and devices your organization could easily manage any number of iOS devices with little overhead and from a controlled and secured location.</p>
<p>If you have a company  or organization and are thinking about deploying any iOS devices or Mac&#8217;s in your network give us a call today and let us setup your deployment properly.  No matter what kind of business or type of organization we can help with 2 devices or 2,000 devices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I called on Friday needing to move my company e-mail server over the weekend to a new location. Marshall responded immediately and we met first thing on Saturday to start the project. During the weekend, he did a lot more work than I expected, e.g. upgrading mail server to Lion, fixing my Mac Book Pro that had a corrupted hard drive&#8230;.</p>
<p>On Sunday we experienced another issue and Marshall was over first thing in the morning to resolve that issue.</p>
<p>Very happy with the level of service and the expertise Marshall provides us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven&#8217;t found it yet, keep looking. Don&#8217;t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you&#8217;ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don&#8217;t settle.</p></blockquote>
<p>We would like to thank Steve &#038; his family for the years of dedication and hard work he put in to such a great company and product. We love what we do and we owe it thanks to you Mr. Jobs. We want to send our condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his family during this time.  Without his vision, passion, desire, &#038; strive we would not be able to do what we do here at iCore Consultants.  We love his technology as much as he did and we are proud to be part of the Apple Consultants Network.  Everyday we get to install and deploy his great technologies and change the way people and companies work.</p>
<p>Steve Jobs touched more people then he can ever imagine and will continue to provide for generations to come &#8211; all this by doing something he truly loved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is as simple as this, I needed help &#8211; and I got it and more. I am not real technically savvy, I know the programs I use very well &#8211; outside of that I am lost. My system was working against itself, my programs were running sluggish and becoming impossible to use with any form efficiency, yet my system was brand new. I contacted Marshall at iCore Consultants and he set me up. We ordered just what I needed, nothing more &#8211; nothing less. Once I put everything together I was still having problems. Frustrated, I called on Marshall at iCore Consultants once more. Since our offices are hundreds of miles apart, we did the next best thing, we went mobile. He connected to my system remotely and began to move quickly to make all the necessary corrections while I was viewing everything on my screen. He downloaded and placed drivers, fine tuned my preferences, streamlined my application work-flow, and showed me where to make further corrections should things reset. In short, he turned a 90 pound weakling of a system into a POWERHOUSE!</p>
<p>Marshall at iCore Consultants, made the process simple, easy to understand and in depth. In a world where we are inundated with &#8220;Press One for more options&#8221; and hold forever, it&#8217;s nice to know we can still count on companies that actually answer calls and can deliver this kind of personal service when we need it most. Thanks Marshall and iCore Consultants!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We recently opened a new physical therapy practice using all new Apple hardware and for some reason we had the initial thought of trying to do the install ourselves. I don&#8217;t know what the heck we were thinking, but thank God we called Marshall. First of all, Marshall answers his phone, and if he doesn&#8217;t, he will promptly return calls. This seems to be a lost art in the customer service department but not with Marshall. He is extremely knowledgeable. I don&#8217;t know how else to say that&#8230;.he really knows his stuff. He is more than fair and was very understanding of our budgetary needs. In fact, he saved me several thousand dollars. Marshall also goes out of his way to make sure that all of our IT needs are met. He has given us some excellent suggestions that we certainly would not have thought of on our own. If you live in this region and need an IT person for any reason, Marshall at Digital Inc is your guy. We are more than satisfied with the expertise and the level of service that he has and will continue to provide us.</p>
