Jamf Acquires Digita Security

“Working with Summit is not like working with other investors. They are a true partner in every sense of the word, and Jamf has benefited enormously from Summit’s wealth of knowledge, extensive network, and a culture that encouraged our relentless focus on customer loyalty and employee engagement. They also do real work in areas where we need leverage – they don’t just talk; they are a force multiplier for our team. Our partnership with Summit has been instrumental in making Jamf the success that it is today.”

Chip Pearson and Zach Halmstad founded Jamf in 2002 with a mission to help organizations of all sizes embrace Apple in the enterprise environment. As former Apple systems administrators, they understood the challenges and opportunities of the Apple environment, and focused on providing products centered around the user experience. Jamf developed the most advanced set of enterprise-grade features and functionality, allowing system administrators to confidently manage every Mac, iPhone or iPad in their environment via an elegant, flexible management platform. By 2013, Jamf saw an opportunity to dramatically grow the business and help more global organizations adopt and extend the use of Apple technologies – and chose Summit as their partner in growth.
How Summit helped:
Today, Jamf is the only device management company focused exclusively on Apple. With more than 13,000 global customers that rely on Jamf to manage over eight million Apple devices across Mac, iOS, and tvOS, the company is committed to enabling IT, empowering end-users and bringing the legendary Apple experience to businesses, education institutions and government organizations.
