Overview
Ready to start using a Mac for your work at IBM? This topic provides a summary of the required steps and includes links to more details where needed.
Plan on about four hours to be up and running — but many people find they need less time.
See the New Mac: Apple's Setup Assistant topic for IBM guidance when you turn on your Mac for the first time.
If you are a new employee and IBM provided you with a Mac, some of the content such as migrating data will not be relevant to you and can be skipped.
If you are currently doing IBM work on a Windows PC and transitioning to using a Mac instead, then you are in the right place.
Get started the right way on the transition—you will be glad you did!
Note: Some geographical regions have different rules for utilizing a personal Mac for business. Before deciding on using your Mac for work, check the IBM Authorized Personal Devices / BYOD topic on IT Help Central to see if your region has special rules.
