Application deploy and mamagement

[yakko]

Good morning,

We have more than 200 IPAD and need to prepare them for users. We have to Install some free application and some application that need payment.

Wich is the best practice with EMM to do this? can we buy application in stock then deploy to ours ipads? And for the free applications what is the best way for deploy with EMM

3 Options:  1) Deploy using the EMM app store functionality (Chapter 7 of the product guide).  2) Use the apple conigurator.  3) Wait for the EMM 10.2 release comming very soon which will have built in application management and deployment functionality.

Thank you Mat for your answer,

do you know how does the EMM app store functionality works with the application that need payment? For axample an organization need to buy 200 licenses of a software, then the software must be downloadable by users with their Apple ID. Is this procedure possible with EMM? The more i test and read and the more EMM seems to lack in the real life funcionality that a MDM software needs...

Not sure how it works with payment.

I'm certain that the new functionality in 10.2 will address that if it's currently lacking.
