At Analyst ICT, we continue to continuously invest in knowledge and quality. Last week Frank Houtappels and Maikel Michelbrink officially received the title Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) achieved.
A great milestone. But more importantly, good news for our customers.
Apple in SMEs: powerful, but not obviously simple
More and more organizations are working with MacBooks, iMacs and other Apple devices. This works comfortably, quickly and stably.
But in a business environment, Apple also brings questions:
- How do you set up macOS securely and manageably?
- How do you integrate Macs into a Microsoft 365 environment?
- How do you ensure security and compliance?
- What do you do in case of failures or performance problems?
- How do you prevent Apple workstations from becoming “islands” within your IT landscape?
Apple is user-friendly. But professional management requires specialized knowledge.
What is an Apple Certified Support Professional?
The Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) is an official Apple certification for IT professionals who professionally manage and support macOS.
This certification demonstrates our in-depth knowledge of, among other things:
- Installation and configuration of macOS
- Security and privacy settings
- Network configuration
- User and rights structures
- Troubleshooting according to Apple methodology
- Best practices for business environments
It is not a marketing badge.
It is a substantive, technical exam that demonstrates that we work to Apple standards.
Specifically, what does this mean for you?
For you as a customer, this mainly means: certainty and peace of mind.
1. Better support
We can analyze Mac problems faster and solve them structurally. No trial-and-error, but a thoughtful approach.
2. Safer design
We make sure macOS is configured correctly in terms of security, updates and user management. This is essential for both continuity and compliance.
3. Stronger integration with your IT landscape
Many SMB environments are hybrid: Microsoft, cloud solutions, sometimes branch applications.
We make sure Apple devices fit in seamlessly.
4. Professional standard
As an MSP, we consciously invest in certifications. As with our ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications, it's all about quality and assurance.
With this Apple certification, we strengthen our role as a reliable IT partner.
Digital meets personal
ICT is people work. Especially with Apple environments, we see that users often have strong preferences. We understand that.
Our strength is not only in technique, but in explanation and guidance.
We make complex IT understandable and ensure that your employees can work pleasantly and safely.
This certification fits that perfectly.
Do you work with Apple in your organization?

As always applies with us: First think, then do.
