Introduction
JAMF is a great tool for managing Apple devices and other mobile equipment.
You can get a unified view of these assets and all other assets by integration of JAMF with an IT asset management toolset like
xAssets ITAM .
This provides a "single pane of glass" view of all your assets, including
customizable data fields, and deep insights for improved compliance and security.
xAssets ITAM provides JAMF integration "out of the box" and integrates
with sources including Intune, SCCM and Cisco Meraki.
Behind the scenes we use the JAMF API to pull data into xAssets. This can run on a schedule to keep the data up to date.
Key Benefits of JAMF Integration with xAssets ITAM
- Unified view of all assets
- Full lifecycle asset tracking
- Improved asset visibility
- Know what you have, where it is, who has it, and what's on it
- Customizable data fields
- Deep insights for improved compliance and security
- Discovery to get devices not held in JAMF
Configurable Data Collection
xAssets ITAM allows you to configure the data you want to collect from JAMF.
This can include any data that JAMF holds, including custom fields, and you can also add your own data fields.
We can also infer data from existing records, for example, we can calculate the age of an asset from the purchase date, or for assets which have a
wired network connection, we can predict the asset location from its IP address. This is auto-filled by the xAssets ITAM system. If part of a computername
has a location code, we can use that to set the location field in the asset record.
The JAMF integration is built entirely within our configuration layer, so nothing is hard-coded and we can adapt the integration to your specific requirements.
Depth of Data from JAMF to xAssets
Data stored in xAssets ITAM goes as deep as JAMF data, offering rich details for each device.
Access detailed MDM-specific fields, including device configurations, compliance status, and application installations.
Centralize Data from Discovery and Integrations
xAssets ITAM sits at the center of your IT operations as a centralized data repository (CMDB) of
Asset and Service information, and it receives data from all your source systems including JAMF.
