Workspace ONE UEM enables you to create and deliver products, which contain device profiles, applications, and platform-specific installation instructions and conditions. These products follow a set of rules, schedules, and dependencies as guidelines for ensuring your devices remain up-to-date with the content they need.

Product provisioning encompasses the use of a relay server, which is an FTP(S), SFTP, or HTTPS server designed to work as a go-between for devices and the UEM console. Create these servers for each store or warehouse to store content to distribute to your devices.

Another product provisioning feature is the staging methods of enrollment. Depending on the platform and device manufacturer, you can perform sideload and barcode staging that quickly enrolls a device and downloads the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub, Wi-Fi profile, and any other important content.

As this guide focuses on the functionality provided by product provisioning, it does not contain all the features and functionality that Workspace ONE UEM offers for managing devices of any specific platform.
