Iphone 5s deployment and MDM SMB

[Its_Me]

Hi guys,

After a recent issue we want to deploy around 10 iphones within our small business without having to use multiple instances of itunes etc .

MDM or Apples (app) program to remote deploy & manage is ideal, however we only use windows for workstations and the server.

I think best option would be a cloud based product, but obviously we are a small business with a limited budget.
(Our phones come from a contract with t-mobile if that makes any difference).

Looking for your thoughts or proven methods of resolving this, without having to purchase a mac (that no one would know how to use anyway).

TYVM!

You can use Lightspeed Mobile Device Manager. It's web based https://lsmdm.com/. You still still be restricted in what you can do without Apple Configurator though ( I think this is more to do with restrictions rather than deployment IIRC)

Don't know if it would be cost effective for only 10 phones though as if I remember pricing it was quite expensive. It would probably be cheaper to buy a base spec Mac Mini or a second hand one in the long run.
