MANAGED SERVICES PLATFORM AND METHOD OF OPERATION OF SAME
First Claim
1. A managed services platform, comprising:
- a device management service (DMS) server, wherein the DMS server acts as a gateway for communications with one or more computing devices and the computing devices are associated with a first entity; and
an application service (AS) server, wherein the AS server is communicatively coupled with the DMS server;
wherein when a first computing device contacts the DMS server, the DMS server is operable to provide a bundle to the first computing device and the bundle contains content that at least includes one or more configuration messages and an application set that contains one or more predefined applications;
wherein the content of the bundle is determined at least in part by the first entity.

Abstract
A managed services platform and method of operation of same are described herein. The platform can include a device management service (DMS) server in which the DMS server can act as a gateway for communications with one or more computing devices, and the computing devices are associated with a first entity. The platform can also include an application service (AS) server in which the AS server is communicatively coupled with the DMS server. When a first computing device contacts the DMS server, the DMS server is operable to provide a bundle to the first computing device. As an example, the bundle contains content that at least includes one or more configuration messages and an application set that contains one or more predefined applications. The content of the bundle can be determined at least in part by the first entity.
