"Casper Suite is now named Jamf Pro."

Same with Bushel - now it is JAMF Now

Interesting.

I was going to ask if there's a non-"Pro" version, but if Bushel is going to be renamed as "JAMF", then there's my answer. Does this mean that I will now be a "CJA" instead of a "CCA"? It will be hard changing the embroidery on my shirt :( Wait... There's already a "CJA".

Looks like they took down the preview page they had up on Saturday. I guess it will come back tomorrow.

I was wondering if the preview page was prematurely released. Looks like it was.

Yeah, I was hoping for a 9:41 AM keynote surprise like Apple does. Oh well...

Does a rose called by a different name smell any different?

Isn't the keynote for the conference tomorrow? Guess we'll get more news then.

Also, JAMFNation URL is now:
https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/

FWIW...

I noticed the change in the URL (and the page design) yesterday. I'm not sure why the name change for the product though. I mean, "Casper Suite" is almost iconic in nature at this point. Its a bold move to rename the product, but then again, its really their core product, so I guess it makes sense to tie the company more closely to the main bread and butter product.
At one time, JAMF had a larger stable of software products (like Imaging Suite, Recon Suite, etc) but it seems they've pared things down a bit over the years. I see no mentions of those products anymore on JAMF's home page and haven't seen them for a while now. Now its just jamf Pro and jamf Now. So in that respect, the name change makes sense.

I love the new branding...Jamf has a nice ring to it. It's what most people call the company. :)

Eagle-eyed observers will note that jamfnation.com is the domain of the JN notification email sender, and this domain forwards to jamf.com/jamf-nation.

Still, why did they have to put a dash in there? Why not jamf.com/jamfnation ?

Well on the bright side, enterprise might not think that a friendly ghost is managing all their macs. Maybe the name change is to reflect a more enterprise solution. The name Casper always reminds people of the friendly ghost....at least thats how I get people to remember the name.

It is pretty bold or dumb, depending on your perspective, to change the name of a long established product.

I will say though that simplifying things would be a good thing. When I talk to others here who aren't familiar with the products and mention Casper, JSS, and Casper Admin their heads spin. I know mine did when I first took over our existing install and had no training on it. Of course I don't know anything about Jamf Pro 10 so maybe now it's Jamf Pro, JSS, and Jamf Pro Admin. Not sure that's any better if that ends up the case. lol

So are the certifications going to become JPT, JPA, JJE, JJA?

Probably JCT, JCA, JJE, etc.

Couldn't it be CJPA for certified JAMF Pro Admin?

Well on the bright side, enterprise might not think that a friendly ghost is managing all their macs. Maybe the name change is to reflect a more enterprise solution. The name Casper always reminds people of the friendly ghost....at least thats how I get people to remember the name.

Yeah, I think I'd put money on that one too. Kinda like the ghost, but now there's a Casper bed too. Maybe ghosts and beds are not the right enterprise image :)
