| UK government buys 11,000 iPhone SEs |
The UK Department of Work and Pensions plans to purchase 11,000 iPhone SE smartphones with IBM software support.
Apple and IBM worked together in 2014 to provide the company's hardware and software solutions.
The report notes that the UK Department of Work and Pensions did not purchase the iPhone SE through Apple, but signed a deal through its distributor XMA to buy 11,000 iPhone SEs for £ 380 instead of the usual £ 399.
The UK Department of Work and Pensions has also added content because the equipment on the machine under the contract will provide tamper-evident asset labels, including bar codes and numbers, XMA tag number, IMEI and serial number details. Make calls.
The Department of Work and Pensions has also purchased iOS support from IBM for two years through another third-party Bramble Hub.
The iPhone was purchased by the UK Department of Work and Pensions under the Crown Commercial Services' master agreement for technology products and related services, which provides 37 vendors with related equipment and services.
Management has also hired Bramble Hub procurement consulting under a £ 4.25m contract to use the CCS G-Cloud 12 cloud support team to provide independent support for IBM software from third-party providers.
Origina is listed as a subcontractor and supports over 800 IBM software acquired by HCL Technologies.
It is unclear whether the decision of the UK Department of Labor and Pensions to partner with third parties is related to price more than Apple and IBM, and whether it is tied to Apple, but ultimately Apple and IBM's market share is increasing.
In the past, it was one of the biggest purchases by Apple and IBM in United Airlines. This year, Apple and Verizon jointly developed a new swap for the enterprise market fleet for easy commercial iPhone update.
