Jamf Holding Corp. is a software company best known for developing Jamf Pro (formerly The Casper Suite), a mobile device management system.[3]
History
[edit]Minneapolis-based Jamf Software was founded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, by Zach Halmstad, Christopher Thon and Chip Pearson[4] and in 2002 released The Casper Suite.[5] The company name came from Laszlo Jamf, a character in Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow.[4] Apple growth in larger environments continued and Jamf developed tools to make Apple devices work in corporate environments.[6] Jamf received a $30 million investment from Summit Partners in 2008.[7]
In 2015 Dean Hager was hired as CEO to replace Halmstad and Pearson, who had previously shared those duties.[8] Over a decade after its inception, The Casper Suite was rebranded as Jamf Pro in 2017.[9]
IBM selected Jamf Pro to manage their Macs in 2015.[10]
Vista Equity Partners acquired a majority of shares in Jamf in December 2017.[11] Jamf acquired three companies in 2018 and 2019 – Orchard and Grove,[12] ZuluDesk[13] and Digita Security[14] – expanding its product portfolio to include identity and authentication management, an education-specific MDM, and endpoint security built for Mac using user behavior analytics. Jamf had a successful IPO on the Nasdaq stock market in July 2020, raising $468 million and valuing the company at around $4.6 billion.[15] In May 2021 Jamf acquired zero-trust software vendor Wandera for $400M.[16] As of December 31, 2022, the company reported servicing approximately 71,000 active customers globally. Furthermore, Jamf's technology is deployed on roughly 30 million Apple devices worldwide.
