The Jamf company specializes in Apple fleet management and deployment tools for professionals, whether private companies or public institutions. Although its name is still little known to the general public today, the company has become, with its 15 years of experience, a real heavyweight in this market. Announcing some growth for several years, the firm surprised its world a few days ago by publishing a record turnover for the last quarter of the year 2020, doing 34% better than last year over the same period. .
Unsurprisingly, the results of Jamf, whose offer covers the entire Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad and Mac) have therefore benefited from the steady progress of the Cupertino company with major accounts during the past year, and more particularly during this last quarter. The company therefore depends directly on the results and the reputation of the Apple. When Apple therefore announces record figures during this year 2020, especially in the last half of the year, it is quite legitimate to think that Jamf will follow in the footsteps of the Cupertino company and in turn announce more than interesting results. .
A special year, for special results
Jamf therefore announced record revenue for the last quarter of the calendar year, reaching $ 76 million, a first for the company. Because if the results of the Apple are indeed particularly good this year, they do not reach such heights, and are not therefore the sole explanation of the success of Jamf.
So to understand how this company managed to achieve its best result over a quarter during this year, we have to dive back into what made the specificities of the latter. Indeed, 2020 will be remembered. The health crisis has affected the whole world, and it has had to react and adapt. Teleworking has become more democratic, to the delight of Apple, which took the opportunity to make record sales figures this summer on its MacBooks.
Telecommuting and education, the two keys to Jamf’s success
It is precisely this democratization of teleworking, and of the “computerization” of certain professions, which allowed Jamf, in turn, to hit the jackpot at the end of the year.
Another example of this sudden arrival of new customers and to be sought in the education market, one of the strengths of both Jamf and Apple. The closure of many establishments, from school to university all over the world has indeed brought about a new form of education, very different from school benches, putting access to digital technology and work to distance. Jamf came to help students and teachers by offering tools such as Jamf School or Jamf Teacher.

A dynamic to be maintained for 2021
The company continues to meet with some success and its CEO, Dean Hager, said 2021 would be a sign of new features on Jamf, explaining that his company wanted to “broaden the breadth and depth of our platform. Apple Enterprise Management to improve our value for customers ”.
The objective is therefore to preserve this dynamic on Jamf’s side by seeking a new audience, first of all from institutions which have just gone “all digital” and which do not yet have a service of this type, but also to offer an offer for smaller companies with the development of security solutions and other tools that can be used by a wider audience.
