You have been asked to explain how a company-managed device moves from purchase to being ready in an employee's hands. Assume the organization uses Apple Business Manager, Automated Device Enrollment, and a mobile device management platform to provision devices at scale. The goal is to show that you understand not just the happy path, but also where ownership, handoffs, and execution risks appear across procurement, enrollment, configuration, and end-user delivery.
How would you walk through the lifecycle of a device from purchase through Apple Business Manager to being fully configured in an end-user's hands?
