Why is it so hard to get Mac's into the Enterprise?

 

Read this article at ARS Technica yesterday and all it managed to do was get me pissed off again!!

I have seen first hand that Windows dominant  departments or IT eggheads I call them seem to only see through the world of Microsoft, and don't give Macs a second thought because they have been brought up to think that Macs are expensive, difficult to integrate and support and most importantly, that Macs are toys!!!

If they only knew that Macs are Unix Systems, that may interest them, but Windoze IT people don't want to learn another DOS prompt system because DOS is primitive to begin with and so the thinking continues. Also that legacy mentality is from the 1990's, and most IT managers simply don't have a clue as to how far Macs have come to simplicity and ease of use when it comes to supporting them and integrating into Windows environments.

As Steve Jobs would say, “ And one more thing,” ….Macs are pretty much self supporting as they don't require constant hand holding that Windows machines need and that would jeopardize their jobs! So this is probably the primary reason that IT professionals don't look at Macs...they like machines that break, not ones that work.

Enterprise IT managers need to get with the program and start listening to what their business is asking for and not dictating…..just saying….
