Apple Integration Services

Apple Works With Everything You Already Use

Mac, iPhone, and iPad work seamlessly alongside Windows and Linux when configured correctly. Wallace and White integrates Apple devices into your existing infrastructure -- Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, identity providers, VPNs, and line-of-business applications -- so your Apple users have the same access to everything as the rest of your organization.

Microsoft 365 Integration

Full native Microsoft 365 on Apple devices, configured and managed through MDM:

• Microsoft Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive on Mac -- We deploy and configure the full Microsoft 365 suite on macOS, including Outlook for email and calendar, Microsoft Teams for communication and collaboration, and OneDrive for cloud file storage and synchronization. These are not web wrappers -- they are fully native Microsoft applications optimized for macOS, and we configure them through MDM to automatically sign in, connect to your organization's tenant, and enforce your data protection policies from the moment the user opens them.
• Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Join and Single Sign-On -- We configure Mac devices to join Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), enabling your Mac users to authenticate with the same corporate credentials they use across all Microsoft services. Platform SSO for macOS extends this further, allowing users to unlock their Mac with their Entra ID password and automatically receive single sign-on tokens for Microsoft 365 apps, internal web applications, and any other service federated through your identity platform.
• Conditional Access Policies for Mac -- Microsoft's Conditional Access framework extends fully to macOS and iOS when configured correctly. We set up Conditional Access policies that evaluate device compliance, user location, sign-in risk, and application sensitivity before granting access to corporate resources. This means your Mac users are held to the same security standards as your Windows users -- compliant device required, MFA enforced, risky sign-ins blocked -- all managed through the same Entra ID policies your security team already maintains.
• Microsoft Intune Co-Management Alongside Mosyle -- For organizations that use Microsoft Intune to manage Windows devices, we architect a co-management strategy that leverages Mosyle for deep Apple-native device management while still registering Mac devices in Intune for compliance reporting and Conditional Access evaluation. This gives you the best of both platforms: Mosyle's superior macOS management capabilities alongside Intune's integration with the broader Microsoft security ecosystem.

Identity Provider Integration

A well-integrated identity platform is the foundation of a secure, productive Apple deployment. Wallace and White connects your Apple devices to your identity provider so that users authenticate once and gain access to everything they need -- without managing separate passwords, without manual account provisioning, and without gaps in your security posture.

• Okta Integration for Mac Login -- We configure Okta Device Trust and Okta Verify on macOS to bind the Mac login experience to your Okta identity platform. Users authenticate at the macOS login window with their Okta credentials, and that authentication carries through to every Okta-protected application they access throughout the day. Combined with Okta FastPass, users move between apps and services without repeated password prompts while your security team maintains full visibility and control over every authentication event.
• Microsoft Entra ID Integration -- For organizations built on Microsoft's identity platform, we implement Platform SSO for macOS and Entra ID device registration to create a seamless bridge between the Mac desktop and your Microsoft identity infrastructure. Users sign in once at the Mac login screen, and that credential propagates across Microsoft 365, internal web applications, and any SaaS application federated through Entra ID.
• SAML and SCIM Provisioning -- We configure automated user provisioning and deprovisioning through SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management), ensuring that when a new employee is added to your identity provider, their accounts, app assignments, and access permissions are automatically created across all connected systems. When an employee leaves, deprovisioning happens instantly and completely. SAML-based single sign-on ties it all together, providing secure, standards-based authentication across every application in your stack.
• Single Sign-On Across All Apple Devices -- Apple's Extensible SSO framework, combined with identity provider plugins from Microsoft, Okta, and others, enables true single sign-on across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. We deploy and configure SSO extensions through MDM so that authentication flows seamlessly across every Apple device in your fleet, reducing password fatigue for users and eliminating one of the most common attack vectors for your security team.

Google Workspace Integration

For organizations running Google Workspace, Apple devices are a natural fit. Wallace and White configures your Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices to integrate fully with Google's suite of productivity and collaboration tools.

• Gmail, Drive, and Google Apps on Apple Devices -- We configure native Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides applications on iPhone and iPad, and set up Google accounts on Mac for seamless access to email, calendar, and file storage. On macOS, we configure Google Drive for desktop to provide native Finder integration with your organization's shared drives, giving Mac users the same drag-and-drop file access they expect.
• Google Workspace Identity Integration -- Google Workspace can serve as your identity provider for Apple devices through SAML federation. We configure this integration so that your employees authenticate with their Google Workspace credentials to access not only Google services but also third-party SaaS applications, internal tools, and any other service connected to your Google identity platform. For organizations that use Google Workspace alongside Microsoft Entra ID, we architect the federation between both platforms to ensure a consistent authentication experience regardless of which provider hosts a given application.
• Chrome Management on Mac -- Many organizations standardize on Google Chrome as their web browser, and we deploy and manage Chrome on macOS through MDM and Google's Chrome Browser Cloud Management. This allows your IT team to enforce browser policies, manage extensions, configure bookmarks, and push security settings to Chrome on every Mac in your fleet -- the same management capabilities you have on Chrome for Windows, applied consistently across your Apple devices.

Network Integration

Apple devices need to connect securely and reliably to your corporate network infrastructure. Wallace and White configures every network-related setting through MDM, ensuring that connections are established automatically and enforced consistently without relying on end users to configure anything manually.

• 802.1X Certificate-Based Wi-Fi Authentication -- We configure certificate-based 802.1X authentication for your Apple devices, deploying machine certificates through SCEP or ACME profiles and configuring Wi-Fi payloads that automatically connect to your enterprise wireless network using EAP-TLS or PEAP. This eliminates shared Wi-Fi passwords, ensures that only managed and compliant devices can access your network, and provides per-device authentication that your network team can audit and revoke at any time.
• VPN Configuration and Enforcement -- We deploy per-app VPN and always-on VPN configurations to Mac, iPhone, and iPad through MDM. Per-app VPN routes only specific application traffic through your VPN tunnel, reducing bandwidth consumption while ensuring that sensitive business applications always connect through your corporate network. Always-on VPN configurations ensure that every network connection from the device is routed through your VPN, providing consistent security regardless of where the user is working.
• Printer and Peripheral Integration -- We configure managed print queues and printer access on macOS through MDM profiles and scripts, ensuring that Mac users can access your organization's networked printers without manual setup. For specialized peripherals -- scanners, label printers, barcode readers, and other devices -- we verify driver compatibility with macOS and configure automated deployment of any required software or drivers.
• File Server Access (SMB) -- macOS includes native support for SMB file sharing, and we configure managed bookmarks, Kerberos authentication, and automated network drive mapping to give your Mac users seamless access to your Windows file servers and NAS devices. Users see their network shares in Finder just as Windows users see them in File Explorer, with the same permissions, the same folder structures, and the same files.

Line-of-Business Application Support

The most common concern businesses have about adopting Apple is application compatibility. Wallace and White conducts thorough assessments and implements proven solutions to ensure that your critical business applications work on Apple devices -- and for the rare cases where a Windows-only application truly has no Mac equivalent, we have established strategies to bridge the gap.

• Compatibility Assessment for Critical Business Apps -- Before any Apple deployment, we audit your organization's application portfolio to identify which applications run natively on macOS, which have web-based equivalents that work in Safari or Chrome, and which require Windows. This assessment covers your ERP, CRM, accounting, project management, design, and industry-specific applications. We provide a detailed compatibility report with recommendations for each application, so you know exactly what to expect before the first Mac is deployed.
• Virtualization Solutions for Windows-Only Apps -- For the small number of applications that genuinely require Windows, we deploy Parallels Desktop for Mac, which runs Windows in a virtual machine directly on the Mac with near-native performance. Through MDM, we can deploy Parallels silently, configure it with a pre-built Windows virtual machine image that includes your required applications, and license it centrally across your fleet. Users launch their Windows application from the Mac dock and interact with it as if it were a native Mac app -- no separate Windows hardware required.
• Web App Optimization for Safari -- Many modern business applications are web-based, and Safari on macOS and iOS provides excellent performance and compatibility for most web applications. We test your web applications in Safari, identify any compatibility issues, configure Safari settings and extensions through MDM, and work with your application vendors to resolve any rendering or functionality gaps. For web applications that your team accesses frequently, we configure them as web clips on iPhone and iPad or as Safari web apps on macOS, providing an app-like experience without requiring a native application.
• Custom App Deployment -- For organizations that develop custom internal applications, we work with your development team to package and deploy those applications to Mac, iPhone, and iPad through MDM. Whether your app is distributed through Apple Business Manager as a custom B2B app, deployed as an enterprise-signed package, or installed through a custom script, we configure the entire deployment pipeline so that updates reach your users automatically and reliably.
