What we do/Mixed fleet
Mac and PC, without a referee.
Most Geneva providers are Windows shops that tolerate Macs. When something goes wrong on the Apple side, it drags on or gets handed to someone else. With us it's the other way round: the Mac has been our trade since 2010, and we've been Microsoft partners since 2022.

Twenty minutes are enough to find where the two speeds are.
You don't have to pick a side. A mixed fleet isn't a problem to solve: it's the normal state of a company where people work with what suits them.
What actually goes wrong
It's almost never the machine. It's the border : what works on one side and not the other, and the moment nobody knows any more who should fix it.
What we put in place
One single set of rules, applied to both worlds: one directory, shared folders, backups, a security policy. The machines change, the rules don't.
What it involves
As with managed IT, it starts with an assessment : you don't reconcile two worlds you've never seen. That's the 490-franc audit.
The two worlds, point by point
On the left what we find on arrival, on the right what we put in its place. Nothing exotic: these are the six places where a mixed fleet cracks.
Two providers, or one who subcontracts half of it.
One point of contact, and nobody to pass the buck to.
A directory for the PCs, local accounts on the Macs.
The same directory for everyone, joiners and leavers included.
Shares that mount on one side and not the other.
The same shares, the same rights, readable from both worlds.
Backed up on the server, forgotten on the laptops.
The same rule everywhere, and a restore that's actually been tested.
Encryption and updates managed on half the fleet.
The same requirements on both sides, checkable from a single list.
âIt's the Macâ on one side, âit's the networkâ on the other.
The problem is with us, and it stops with us.
