Running a business on an iPad has a huge advantage. You could build apps that work with your systems and a lot stuff that we need not say. It is messy when your employees stop working and start playing with the gadget you provided to run business. Formerly there used to be a profile that restricts it's user unauthorized access. But it's worth has been dropped since some school students figured out a way to pass this by uninstalling the profile that applies the restrictions to the devices.
Yesterday the company introduced a handful of features that is going to help schools and business to manage the iPads of their students or employees. Apple is also introducing "zero-touch" which means who run mobile device management (MDM) server can install this on a new device without even unboxing it after enrolling at deploy.apple.com. This profile can also be made mandatory which prevents the removal of its profile.
Administrators can control email and VPN settings to the kind of passcode they have to use to the apps that are installed, and they could even remote lock or wipe it completely if it is lost and contains sensitive data.
A guide on how to use the features can be found at Apple's Device Enrollment Program (PDF version), the guide also tell what you can and can't do in this program.
