## History

Minneapolis-based Jamf Software was founded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, by Zach Halmstad, Christopher Thon and Chip Pearson[3] and in 2002 released The Casper Suite.[4] The company name came from Laszlo Jamf, a character in Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow.[3] Apple growth in larger environments continued and Jamf developed tools to make Apple devices work in corporate environments.[5] Jamf received a $30 million investment from Summit Partners in 2008.[6]

In 2015 Dean Hager was hired as CEO to replace Halmstad and Pearson, who had previously shared those duties.[7] Over a decade after its inception, The Casper Suite was rebranded as Jamf Pro in 2017.[8]

IBM selected Jamf Pro to manage their Macs in 2015.[9]

Vista Equity Partners acquired a majority of shares in Jamf in December 2017.[10] Jamf acquired three companies in 2018 and 2019 – Orchard and Grove,[11] ZuluDesk[12] and Digita Security,[13] expanding its product portfolio to include identity and authentication management, an education-specific MDM, and endpoint security built for Mac using user behavior analytics. Jamf had a successful IPO on the Nasdaq stock market in July 2020, raising $468 million and valuing the company at around $4.6 billion.[14] In May 2021 Jamf acquired zero-trust software vendor Wandera for $400M.[15]

## Products
