iPad in Business
iPad in the enterprise
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft Exchange,
iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in business, go to
www.apple.com/ipad/business .
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPad with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires.
If you received your iPad from your organization, the settings and apps you need might already
be installed. If it’s your own iPad, your system administrator may provide you with the settings for
you to enter, or they may have you connect to a mobile device management server that installs
the settings and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in configuration profiles. You might be asked to
install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that you need to download
from a webpage. When you open the file, iPad asks for your permission to install the profile, and
displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a configuration profile that sets up an account for you, some iPad
settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and require
you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. If you delete a profile, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the profile are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to remove a profile, contact
your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,
such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store
that configures your iPad to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for
information about any apps and settings you need.
