# Device enrollment lifecycle
|
|
|
|
If you manage devices, you've likely participated in one or more of these five stages of the device enrollment lifecycle — regardless of the quirks in your particular industry or service, your approach, or the tools you use.
|
|
|
|
1. **Assigning devices** (new or repurposed) to employees
|
|
2. **Setting up management and security controls**
|
|
*E.g., scripts, profiles, settings*
|
|
3. **Installing and managing software**
|
|
4. **Determining a long-term management strategy**
|
|
*E.g., device state remediation and long-term security posture maintenance*
|
|
5. **Collecting devices** after employee role changes or separations
|
|
|

|
## The problem
|
|
|
|
- **59%** of IT teams use 7 or more device management tools
|
|
- **40%** of work time is spent on manual, repetitive tasks
|
|
- **64%** of executives prioritize data security
|
|
- **67%** of executives and IT teams find security challenging
|
|
|
|
Traditional device management is becoming a risk. The sheer number of tools used is a factor.
|
|
|
|
Each individual tool, when acquired, may seem perfect (like that melon baller in your kitchen drawer you rarely use…)
|
|
|
|
But even top-tier, single-platform management solutions don't solve for:
|
|
|
|
- Multiple annual contract renewals
|
|
- Complex licensing
|
|
- Expensive training for teams on various solutions
|
|
- Hiring separate teams for each
|
|
- Scattered device data
|
|
- Difficulty managing device compliance and audits
|
|
|
|
You can mitigate this risk if you're currently using multiple solutions for managing devices (e.g., Jamf for this, Intune for that, Omnissa for everything else) by consolidating onto **Fleet**.

|
## Help is on the way
|
|
|
|
- Use zero-touch deployment methods like **Apple ADE** and **Microsoft Autopilot**
|
|
- Create as many fleets as you need for each security baseline in your organization
|
|
- Deploy and automatically patch software on all platforms with no additional integrations
|
|
- Track vulnerability, compliance, and remediation — all in one place
|
|
- Send lock and wipe commands to Apple, Linux, or Windows devices
|
|
|
|
At Fleet, we believe we can help by simplifying things:
|
|
|
|
Host Fleet anywhere yourself, or we can host it for you. Improve how you manage the device enrollment lifecycle in a single console.
|
|
|
|
Use Fleet's simple, clean UI, or manage Fleet with configuration as code in version control.
