It’s an exciting time to be a macadmin
As I said months ago, it’s an exciting time to be a macadmin. We now have vendors that are forward thinking and will allow us to have flexible DEP deployments, custom tailored to each company’s unique requirements.
My company is hiring! 
If you’re as excited as I am, come join our team.
