Esikhathini esithile esidlule, inkampani yasenganekwaneni i-IBM isayine isivumelwano ne-Apple ukukhuthaza ukwethulwa kwamadivayisi e-iOS nezicelo zebhizinisi kumakhasimende ayo, ngaphandle kokuqhubeka, isinyathelo esiqale izolo yi-IBM lapho bezonikeza bonke abasebenzi ithuba lokuthi ukhetha iMac njengeqembu lomsebenzi okokuqala. Ngokwesitatimende esivela ku-IBM kuTwitter nakubasebenzi bezinkampani eziningana, bonke ngivumile ukusincoma lesi sinqumo ngemuva kweminyaka ngenye indlela ye-PC.
Kumemorandamu yomsebenzi, i-IBM iphawula ukuthi ukuqala namuhla bonke abasebenzi (hhayi nje ukukhetha onjiniyela njengakudala), bangakwazi khetha kwi-MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, noma i-PC lapho usetha iqembu lomsebenzi omusha.
Noma kunjalo, ngeke zibe yimishini ezosetshenziswa, okungukuthi, lawa maMac azofaka isoftware entsha yezokuphepha efakiwe, kokubili ekulungiselelweni kwe-Wi-Fi ne-VPN ukuze abasebenzi baxhumeke kuphela kwi-Intanethi ukuqala, ngokwesitatimende. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-IBM igcizelela ukuthi njengamanje inama-Macs angama-15.000 asetshenziswe ngohlelo lwayo lwe I-BYOD «Letha idivayisi yakho» (letha idivayisi yakho) Kepha ihlela ukukhipha ama-Macbook azungeze ama-50.000 XNUMX ekupheleni konyaka.
Lokhu kwenza I-IBM "iklayenti" elikhulu le-Apple futhi ubone ukuthi ukuqaliswa kwenzeka kanjani nge-apple ngohlelo lwayo lokubhaliswa kwedivayisi.
Uma ukhumbula i-Apple umemezele ehlobo edlule ukubambisana ne-IBM ekuqaleni ukuthuthukisa izinhlelo ze-iOS zamakhasimende ebhizinisi kanye nokuzama ukwenza ukusekelwa kwe-AppleCare kwebhizinisi kufaneleke kakhulu. Ngikholwa ukuthi lo mfelandawonye uzoba nezithelo esikhathini esizayo ngenxa yamathuba amakhulu kakhulu ezinkampani zombili ngayinye emkhakheni wayo, ukuze i-Apple ithole ithuba lokungena ngokujulile emakethe yebhizinisi obekulokhu kuyinkinga elindile.
