內容簡介

iCafe VPP Manager可大幅減少管理蘋果批量授權計劃的工作量。

蘋果的VPP流程讓學校和企業以折扣價格(學校可免稅)購買多個應用程式副本。如果沒有VPP,用戶只能支付第一份應用程式的費用。

在此瞭解更多VPP的詳細資訊

問題在於蘋果的批量購買解決方案對於大型企業來說很難管理。蘋果只允許一個項目經理帳戶用於創建單個項目設施帳戶。這些設施帳戶可以兌換VPP優惠券和購買應用程式兌換碼,但實際上無法安裝任何應用程式!兌換碼然後可以分發給最終用戶,他們使用兌換碼安裝應用程式。此時,該應用程式成為使用該兌換碼的iTunes帳戶擁有者的財產。

感到困惑了嗎?!?!

iCafe VPP Manager設計以解決蘋果VPP計劃的許多問題:

提供可跟蹤的帳戶創建流程
跟蹤所有優惠券和剩餘餘額
允許最終用戶請求應用程式購買
跟蹤所有請求
存儲和分發所有兌換碼
減輕單個人員的計劃需求

為您所有VPP交易提供單一平台只是iCafe VPP Manager提供的解決方案的一部分。

應用程式擁有權也是許多組織的問題。許多組織只能放棄,允許用戶在個人iTunes帳戶下兌換代碼。在某些情況下,這是可取的,但許多組織無法承擔每年贈送成千上萬個應用程式的費用。蘋果的VPP條款允許組織保留應用程式的所有權,前提是兌換代碼是在企業擁有的iTunes帳戶下兌換的。雖然這提供了一種合法的維持所有權的方法,但大型組織將發現難以管理。

蘋果提供兩個建議;為每個用戶或一組使用通用組織電子郵件帳戶([email protected])創建iTunes帳戶,或使用單一iTunes帳戶為所有應用程式創建iTunes帳戶([email protected])。

第一個選項需要一個或幾個人維護許多帳戶,而第二個選項提出了共享主帳戶憑據的安全問題。

iCafe VPP Manager通過創建一個安全的門戶,讓認證的工作人員檢索應用程式兌換碼和當前企業iTunes憑據來解決此問題。
此外,它還允許您設置自動密碼更改計劃。大多數組織每4至6小時更改其主iTunes帳戶,從而將帳戶曝光時間最小化。

目標是充分利用美妙的VPP計劃,同時自動化許多過程。

原文外掛簡介

iCafe VPP Manager takes much of the labor out of managing Apple’s Volume Purchase Program.
Apple’s VPP process allows schools and businesses to purchase multiple copies of apps at a discount (and tax exempt for schools). Without VPP, users can only pay for the first copy of an app.

The problem is that Apple’s solution to volume purchases is difficult to manage for large enterprises. Apple allows only one Program Manager account used to create individual Program Facilitator Accounts. These Facilitator accounts can redeem VPP Vouchers and purchase app redemption codes but can’t actually install any apps! Redemption codes can then be distributed to end users who redeem the codes to install the app. At this point the app becomes the property of the owner of the iTunes account used to redeem the code.
Confused yet?!?!
iCafe VPP Manager is designed to solve many of the problems with Apple’s VPP Program:

Provide a trackable process for creating accounts
Track all vouchers and remaining balances
Allows end users to request app purchases
Track all requests
Stores and distributes all redemption codes
Reduce the program demands on any one person

Providing a single platform for all your VPP transactions is only part of the solution offered by iCafe VPP Manager.
App ownership is also a struggle of many organizations. Many simply give up and allow users to redeem codes under personal iTunes accounts. In some cases this is desirable, but many organizations cannot afford to give away thousands of apps per year. Apple’s VPP terms allow an organization to maintain ownership of apps provided the redemption codes are redeemed under organization-owned iTunes accounts. While this provides a legal means for maintaining ownership, large organizations will find it difficult to manage.
Apple gives two recommendations; create an iTunes account for every user or group of users using a generic organizational email account ([email protected]) or using a single iTunes account for all apps ([email protected]).
The first option requires upkeep of many accounts by one or a few people while the second poses the security concern of sharing the master account credentials among many staff members.
iCafe VPP Manager solves this issue by creating a secure portal for authenticated staff to retrieve app redemption codes and the current enterprise iTunes credentials.
It will also allow you to setup an automated password change schedule. Most organizations change their master iTunes account every four to six hours minimizing the accounts exposer to former employs.
The goal is to take full advantage of the wonderful VPP program while automating much of the process.
