Discover Meta Horizon Managed Services Integration
Understand how Meta Horizon managed services (HMS) fits into XR programs today—and how ArborXR helps teams move from pilots to scalable, enterprise-ready deployments.
Why Choose Meta + ArborXR?
As an official MDM partner of Meta, our goal is simple: to help organizations confidently understand and implement Meta hardware while ensuring they have the best tools to manage their devices at scale. But we don’t stop there. We’re also partnering closely with Meta to help them evolve their offerings via feedback and understanding from the frontlines.
If you’re launching or scaling an XR program, choosing the right device management strategy is critical. The way you set up, manage, and secure your devices directly impacts the success of your deployment—whether you’re training employees, educating students, or developing and delivering immersive apps to your customers.
That’s why Meta Horizon managed services (HMS) and ArborXR are used together: HMS provides Meta’s native device management for Quest, and ArborXR is required for teams that need centralized control, operational visibility, and program-level management beyond basic enrollment.
HMS covers required enrollment and native device management for Quest. ArborXR supports the operational, support, and planning needs that emerge as XR programs move beyond basic setup.
- HMS handles device enrollment and activation for Meta Quest devices.
- ArborXR builds on that foundation, providing content management, operational support, and guidance as XR deployments grow in complexity.
This model is similar to Apple Business Manager and Jamf—HMS provides foundational enrollment, while ArborXR provides the operational tooling, controls, and cross-device flexibility teams rely on as XR programs mature.
Why ArborXR is the Best Choice for Managing Meta Devices at Scale:
Industry-Standard Device Management
HMS provides a foundation for enrollment, while ArborXR offers additional management capabilities, controls, and operational support needed for real-world deployments.
Comprehensive Control

Streamlined Provisioning
Unlike other XR devices, Meta’s integration with ArborXR offers a Wi-Fi-based enrollment, which means devices are up and running faster, with zero headaches.
