iPhone in Business
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, custom apps, and Microsoft
Exchange, iPhone is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPhone in
business, go to www.apple.com/iphone/business.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization
requires. If you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need
might already be installed. If it’s your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you
with the settings for you to enter, or they may have you connect to a mobile device management
server that installs the settings and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in conguration proles. You might be asked to
install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from
a web page. When you open the le, iPhone asks for your permission to install the prole, and
displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a conguration prole that sets up an account for you, some
iPhone settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and
require you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your proles in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the prole are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a prole, contact
your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,
such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that
congures your iPhone to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for
information about apps and settings you need.
Apps
In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization may
want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption code for
the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even though
your organization purchased it for you.
