Episode 269: Adobe Deployments

What are the latest options to deploy Adobe products onto Apple devices? It’s one of the oldest skills those of us who work on the platform need. In this episode we’ll dig into what the latest techniques are, some gotchas, and how to deliver the best experience possible to our users. We’re joined by Dom, who has been a support engineer in Adobe’s enterprise team for over 11 years to talk through all the different options now available – and how best to think about them!
Hosts:
- Tom Bridge, Principal Product Manager, JumpCloud – @tbridge777
