iOS 5 Deployment Guide
Everything you need to know and lots of things you
don’t! Click the pic to get the guide.
1. Understand the deployment goals
What are your expected outcomes?
What do you hope to gain from this deployment?
2. Assess the infrastructure
Can the LAN and Wi-Fi network support your devices?
Look at servers and storage
Become best friends with Tech Department - Feed them they will come
Evaluate your Internet Bandwidth - A little does NOT go a long way!
3. Plan for support
Will Apple provide project management support (for a not so small fee) or will someone have to be in charge (only martyrs need apply)?!
Who will be responsible for post-deployment support? THEY WILL NEED SOMEONE TO CRY TO and support them!
Will Apple or someone else do PD?
4. Plan the rollout
What policies need to be created or revised (We use ASBA but are tweaking BYOT policies)?
Who will get devices and in what order will they be distributed (stand back -fights may ensue)?
Once again PD is MOST IMPORTANT!
Training plan for students - they don’t know everything...they just think they do.
Who purchases and owns apps?
4. Plan the rollout cont’d
What data should be backed up from the devices?
Which deployment strategies will be used (we use Institutional Model)?
Enroll in Volume Purchase Program
Consider a Mobile Device Management Solution
VPP Roles - Who is in Charge?- or at least thinks they are
The Program Manager
Program Faciliator
End User
Program Manager
Responsible for enrolling an institution in VPP. Must also be authorized to create and manage Facilitator Accounts
Program FacilitatorCan redeem Volume Vouchers through the VPP portal.
Can search for and order apps and books in variable quantities, spending up to the current $ amount credited to account
Can also purchase using credit cards, PCards, and PayPal.
End User
For the purpose of VPP, the End User is any iTunes account used to redeem apps and books. Just remember that if you allow teachers to use their personal accounts then they take the apps with them when they leave.
Enrolling in the Volume Purchase ProgramEducation institutions that qualify for enrollment in VPP can sign up for the program online.

Understanding Volume VouchersVolume Vouchers are physical cards in denominations of $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 that can be used only to purchase apps within the VPP store. They are shipped via Federal Express or UPS, so they can be easily tracked and should arrive within three to five business days from the time of the order.
Volume Vouchers can only be used in the VPP store and are not valid for regular iTunes, App Store, or iBookstore downloads. This means that lost or stolen Volume Vouchers cannot be redeemed by anyone who is not a registered user of VPP. Each Volume Voucher can be used by one Program Facilitator account. Purchase multiple vouchers in smaller denominations if funds need to be distributed to multiple Program Facilitators.
Using the Volume Purchase ProgramOnly Program Facilitators purchase apps and books through the VPP Education Store, but anyone can browse the store. This makes it easy for anyone to check pricing at any time, even if that person isn’t designated as a Program Facilitator.
When purchasing, the Program Facilitator must enter a value in the quantity field. Institutions that are eligible for tax-free purchasing aren’t charged tax when purchasing via the VPP Education Store or when purchasing Volume Vouchers. Following each purchase, the Program Facilitator receives a spreadsheet that includes a list of redemption codes that can be redeemed by End Users in iTunes. The Program Facilitator can download updated versions of the spreadsheet to review which codes have been redeemed.
