Are you an IT professional or technology manager who wants to evaluate pre-release software in your work environment? If yes, then AppleSeed for IT is the perfect platform for you to contribute to. You can test this pre-release software against your infrastructure, network and critical apps to ensure that the latest software can support enterprises without any hiccups.
Here are some of the program highlights that you would want to watch out for:
- Your enterprise will get access to pre-release versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS as well as apps like Apple Configurator, Classroom, and more.
- You get to test throughout the year and provide feedback to Apple so that the new software can work in your specific work environment. With detailed test plans, you can evaluate how well the beta software will work within your various workflows.
- You’ll also receive surveys on specific areas for focused testing. Participating in these surveys will give you the opportunity to become familiar with the features and also evaluate the impact on your organization.
- All feedback submitted through the AppleSeed for IT program will be funnelled to a dedicated review queue, which ensures that bug submissions and enhancement requests, get to the right individuals at Apple quickly.
