Apple @ Work: How Apple Business solved the shadow IT problem of Apple Maps Connect
Apple has integrated Apple Business Connect into its Apple Business platform, addressing the issue of shadow IT in managing business locations on Apple Maps.

- ▪The new Managed Apple Account system allows IT to assign roles and revoke access when employees leave, ensuring control over location data.
