While you can install Mac software yourself on your business machines, you can also call in specialist installation services. Here, experts install the software you want to use on your Macs for you. When is this a good idea?

1. You're Switching From PCs to Macs

If you're switching from using PCs to Macs at work, then you might not know all that much about your new operating system and its software. While you're used to installing and upgrading PC software, you might not have much experience of doing this for yourself on your new machines.

If you're relatively new to Macs and the way they work, then it pays to bring in the experts. An onsite Mac software installation specialist can set up your new software quickly and efficiently. They know exactly what they are doing and don't have the learning curve that you will have.

2. You Want a Quick Multiple Installation

If you've never installed Mac software before, then this process might take some time. You'll have to go through every step of the process carefully. You'll have to read instructions on the features you turn on and off to make sure you get the functionality you need. If you're installing software on multiple Macs, then you'll need more time to upgrade each machine.

An onsite installation gives you your time back. You get an expert in your office who can upgrade each Mac for you.

Plus, they can help you make the right decisions during installation processes to make sure that you get all the features and functions you need. It doesn't always make sense to install all the defaults on software programs, and an expert can help you customise your build by explaining your options as they go along.

3. You Don't Want Users to Do Their Own Upgrades

While you can ask each of your users to install the software you want on their machines, this approach doesn't always work well.  Some people can manage an installation; others might struggle.

Also, you might not want to give software or password control to your employees. You might worry that they won't install packages in exactly the same way. For example, some people might enable features that you don't want them to use while others might disable features that you see as essential.

If you use an installation service, then you choose how each package goes on to your Macs. Your expert will work confidentially to your exact specification.
