Apple iPad in a company, how to cook/manage centrally?

Question

iOS

There are about 20 iPads (then it may be a little more, but up to 30 for sure) for use within the company. On all you need to carry out the same operation - update iOS, install a couple of applications. The applications themselves are small, but they pull an offline catalog from the Internet, about 5 gigs in total.
To cook them one at a time - this requires a wide channel, and a wagon time. How would it be easier to do without any special gestures? Update iOS - you can also through iTunes, but install applications? Create some kind of image and roll it out (by analogy with corporate computers)?
Should everyone use one special corporate Apple ID? I would rather like this, but suddenly there is some kind of rake.
I would also like to make some simple MDM so that you can control them - install / remove applications centrally, configure these applications, all that. The key word is "simple", otherwise, basically, all solutions are monstrous and designed for many different devices.

Answer 1

install OSX Server: there you will also have a cache (although I don’t remember how it works with custom content, but it works fine with stores / updates) and a device manager .
