FAQ

What is device provisioning?

Device provisioning is defined as setting up a device to work in a specific manner. How detailed that provisioning process is, however, can vary wildly. Sometimes it might mean something simple like disabling or enabling certain features and installing a few apps. Other times, it might mean replacing the entire operating system for specialized functionality.

Provisioning works hand-in-hand with enrollment and configuration. In a typical deployment scenario, each of these would be handled manually, which makes the deployment process cumbersome and time-consuming. Fortunately, not all provisioning processes are the same.

Is enrollment part of the provisioning process?

Yes, enrollment is typically part of the device provisioning process and involves registering the device and associating it with specific user accounts or policies.

What’s the difference between provisioning and configuration?

Provisioning is the broader process of preparing a device for use, while configuration refers to the specific customization of settings and parameters on a device.

Is provisioning part of deployment?

Yes, provisioning is typically part of the device deployment process, which involves introducing and setting up devices within a system or infrastructure.

What is device deployment?

Device deployment involves the physical or virtual distribution and installation of devices in their intended locations, including tasks like logistics, transportation, installation, network connectivity, and initial configurations.

We use Esper to provide new Versions of our Android apps to Android tablets. Before using Esper, we had to upload the app to every single device ourselves. With Esper, we assign the new Version to the existing group, and the app is delivered to the tablets within 5 minutes.
