Jamf announces its acquisition of dataJAR, a leading Apple technology managed services provider

Acquisition will help Jamf expand its partnerships with managed service provider partners through dataJAR’s proprietary technology that makes it easier for organizations to harness the power of Jamf’s leading management and security platform

MINNEAPOLIS, July 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing Apple at work, announced it has acquired dataJAR, a U.K.-based leading managed services provider (“MSP") focused on providing powerful Apple and Jamf services for businesses and educational organizations. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

dataJAR’s proprietary software provides a single pane of glass for Jamf MSP partners who assist in managing multiple organizations’ deployments, reducing support tickets, and allowing partners to more seamlessly manage devices. This acquisition will help Jamf partner more closely with its more than 600 MSP partners and expand the reach of its leading Apple-first and Apple-best management and security platform. 

“Jamf’s acquisition of dataJAR confirms to anykey their determination to empower our MSP business,” said Tobias Linder, chief technology officer, anykey IT AG. “This will enable us to leverage enhanced capabilities and drive greater efficiency in our collaborative efforts to help people securely use Apple at work and school. We look forward to exploring the possibilities that this brings and delivering even more value to our mutual customers.”

In addition, there are many MSPs who have made and maintained their business by having a keener focus on Microsoft, and often don’t have the capacity to support Apple deeply or at all. With Apple growth on the rise, MSPs have been asking for a solution to help manage their customers’ Apple devices without diluting the intended and unparalleled Apple end user experience.

“We’re excited to welcome dataJAR to the Jamf family so we can empower our partners with this leading technology and help them better scale their own business with added Apple-focused workflows, expertise, and support,” said Dean Hager, Jamf CEO. “We believe dataJAR’s mission to make powerful technology simple is perfectly complementary to our purpose of simplifying the way works gets done. I’m excited to work together on bringing the power of Apple to even more partners, organizations, and workers.”
