We are honored that folks like Summit Partners share this outlook and commitment.”

“It is a privilege to back a company and team as committed to customer success as JAMF Software has been,” Goldfarb continued. “When JAMF started in 2002 as a company dedicated to serving Apple administrators, very few people had the vision of what Apple would achieve over the last decade. JAMF-s depth of understanding and commitment to the Apple platform and community makes the company a unique and trusted partner to organizations of all types and sizes, as they, and their users adopt Macs, iPads and iPhones for computing and mobility.”
