What are Shared iPads for Business?

In this silent video, watch the end-user experience when using Shared iPads for Business. Shared iPad for Business is a solution developed by Apple to use MDM APIs to trigger a mode on supported devices to create a mandatory “sign in” process before gaining access to the home screen of the device.
