The Enterprise Device Alliance was founded as the Enterprise Device Alliance in 2008 to provide information to IT managers and administrators about the ways they can leverage their Windows infrastructure, management tools and expertise to easily integrate Macs into their organizations.  This integration includes the security, client management, and access to services that IT departments are accustomed to providing to Windows users.

With the rapid growth in the use of mobile devices, particularly iPhones and iPads, in large organizations, the members of the Enterprise Device Alliance separately developed solutions to deliver services and management products that let large organizations derive more value from these mobile systems and allow IT departments to assert appropriate control.

In September 2011, the members agreed to rename the organization the Enterprise Device Alliance to reflect their support for these new systems in addition to the Mac.
