WoodApplez is not just a general Apple news site. Alongside reviews and tips for home use, I regularly write about Apple in a business environment: management, security, deployment and working alongside Microsoft. This page brings those articles together in one place, for the IT manager, business owner or Mac user working with Apple inside an organisation.
Why this knowledge can be trusted
I’m Frank, co-founder of Analyst ICT. Since March 2026, Analyst ICT has been an officially recognised Apple Technical Partner, the successor to the Apple Consultant Network. I personally earned the Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) certification in 2024 and again in 2026, and in 2026 became one of the first to earn the Apple Certified IT Professional (ACITP), the certification that ties directly into the technical whitepapers on this site. The articles below come from day-to-day work with clients, not a marketing brochure.
