While people are working from home, Apple encourages them to use Apple-designed tools like FaceTime and iCloud Drive for security purposes, but tools like Slack, WebEx, and Box are permitted as Apple employees have not found it easy to work with Apple’s own apps due to their consumer rather than enterprise focus.
Time for Apple to change the attitude that Enterprise could use Consumer products. The example given was enterprise use the same sedan as consumer. But there are many subtle differences e.g. even for a simple printer, enterprise requires higher speed of printing and durability.
Now is the time to work on enterprise version of their consumer apps. FaceTime, iCloud, iMessage.
Despite the difficulties Apple employees have to overcome to work remotely, one Apple supplier that The Information spoke to said that there are “no signs” of slowdown. Apple has continued to place a steady stream of orders for components, and has increased orders for iPhone 11 and 11 Pro orders.
