Settle subscriptions via the Apple App Store as a company

What has long been standard practice on iPhones and iPads for some time increasingly applies now to Mac software too: buying software from Apple's App Store and subscribing to it.

The benefits are obvious:

• Software for your Mac, iPhone or iPad can be found in one central place.
• The App Store is pre-installed and can be used without much effort.
• Software is checked by Apple and only then released for the App Store. Malware can thus be excluded.
• Software updates are made available for download centrally via the App Store and, depending on your settings, are loaded automatically.
• Apple takes care of the protection of your personal data and does not pass it on to third parties - not even to the software developers.
• You have central access to all App Store purchases in the purchase history.
• Your billing information is linked to your personal Apple ID, so you don't have to re-enter your data and payment information for each purchase.

However, this last point in particular presents many companies with a challenge in terms of accounting for expenses. The link to a personal Apple ID means that purchase receipts are not issued to the company, but to the user.

With Merlin Project In Deutsche Bahn

"I'm not compatible with Deutsche Bahn," was my answer for many years when asked about my choice of travel mode. I couldn't even say exactly how long it had been since my last train trip, but it may have been anything between 10 and 15 years.

Recently, however, it came to pass that the only way I could reasonably accomplish a business trip was by train. And by that I mean a combination of time and money. So I bravely chose this option and went on the adventure.

Over the course of 3 days, I rode the train from Osnabrück to Stuttgart, on to Munich and from there back to Osnabrück. I learned a lot on this trip. Some old prejudices were confirmed, but many were also revised. Here are a few of my insights:
