iPad in Business
iPad in the enterprise
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft Exchange,
iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in business, go to
www.apple.com/ipad/business/.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPad with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires.
If you received your iPad from your organization, the settings and apps you need might already
be installed. If it’s your own iPad, your system administrator may provide you with the settings for
you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server that installs the settings
and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in conguration proles. You might be asked to
install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email, or one that you need to download
from a webpage. When you open the le, iPad asks for your permission to install the prole, and
displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a conguration prole that sets up an account for you, some iPad
settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and require
you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your proles in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the prole are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to remove a prole, contact
your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,
such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store
that congures your iPad to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for
information about any apps and settings you need.
Apps
In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization
may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption
code for the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even
though your organization purchased it for you.
