Mac. A key ingredient in a snack brand’s best work.

Want Want’s snacks, dairy products and beverages are some of the most beloved in China and are now available in over 63 countries worldwide. Their success is as much the result of innovation as it is their incredible recipes and iconic packaging. With that in mind, the snack giant undertook a massive PC‑to‑Mac migration in 2015. The switch optimised IT operations, increased security and streamlined workflows across multiple departments. Not only did Want Want employees say they were more productive, but they also had higher levels of overall satisfaction. And with Want Want reporting significant cost savings, it was a great investment in every way.

The switch from PC to Mac transformed productivity, IT and security.

Performance

Pairing power
with efficiency.

Performance

With its intuitive OS and supercharged M1 chip, Mac helps increase employees’ productivity and creativity. Its Retina Display is a brilliant canvas for the designers who create Want Want’s eye-catching packaging, and makes colour matching in print production extremely efficient. And with the blazing-fast performance of the M1 chip and all-day battery life,* MacBook Air helps sales teams tackle tough tasks on the go.

Workflow Management

Intuitive apps make
big tasks bite‑size.

Workflow Management

Workflows are streamlined by macOS and its built-in productivity apps. The Reminders app helps employees stay on top of their to-do lists. iWork includes Keynote, Numbers and Pages — which makes it easy to collaborate in real time across a variety of teams. And Quick Notes makes it possible to quickly jot down thoughts or ideas over any app or screen on a Mac and easily access them in Notes.

Simple Migration

Switching to Mac
is a piece of cake.

Simple Migration

Switching to Mac is easy. For Want Want, the process was guided by IT stakeholders, line-of-business leaders and procurement. The built-in apps on Mac easily integrated into Want Want’s existing IT workflows. Jamf, Want Want’s mobile device management (MDM) solution, simplified setting up corporate configurations, establishing security protocols, and managing devices and apps. And AppleCare OS Support integrates ongoing expert-level support.

IT Deployment

A golden ticket to better tech support.

IT Deployment

Mac and Jamf enable the IT department to manage and update devices remotely using zero-touch deployment. This saves IT time and effort, allowing the team to focus on strategic priorities. With employee access to corporate services and IT-approved apps, and because Mac is intuitive and built to last, employees are less reliant on IT. The result is fewer help tickets overall.

Only with Apple

Built-in Security

Apple products are designed with built-in security. Data is protected on each device to keep both corporate and employee data safe. The result is a decrease in security incidents, fewer disruptions, and lowered costs associated with third‑party solutions.

Self-Support

When people help themselves, IT is simplified. Jamf’s Self Service app on Mac makes it easy for employees to configure corporate services and download the IT-approved apps they need. And easy-to-use macOS tips and tricks allow people to learn by themselves.

Zero-Touch Deployment

With the efficiency of Apple Business Manager and Jamf, Mac is ready to use straight out of the box. And because IT have the power to remotely manage and update devices over the air, ongoing management is simple too.
