MDM Migration
Picked the wrong MDM, inherited someone else's, or paying for a platform that never fitted Apple? Switching is normal. Doing it without a plan is how organisations end up running two consoles for a year.
The challenges you're facing
Every device has to re-enrol
Most migrations require devices to leave one MDM and join another. Supervised devices can often be reassigned remotely through Apple Business Manager. Everything else needs a plan, and the plan is where migrations succeed or stall.
Impact: Stalled rollouts, users locked out of apps, devices sitting unmanaged for weeks
Policy parity nobody checked
The old console enforced things the new one does not, or enforces differently. FileVault escrow, update deadlines, restrictions and app scoping rarely map one to one between platforms.
Impact: Compliance gaps that pass unnoticed because the new dashboard shows green
Two consoles, indefinitely
The pilot group moves, the hard cases do not, and the old platform stays alive for the stragglers. Now you pay twice and neither console tells the truth about the fleet.
Impact: Double licensing, split visibility, and an audit you cannot answer from one place
One fleet, one console, in waves you can stop.
We map what the current platform actually enforces, design the target configuration to match or better it, and move the fleet in waves with a rollback point at each one. Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Iru, Omnissa Workspace ONE and Mosyle, in any direction.
- ✓
A written inventory of what the old MDM enforces, before anything moves
- ✓
Re-enrolment strategy per device class, including supervised and BYOD
- ✓
Policy parity checked against the old platform rather than assumed
- ✓
Waves with a defined rollback point, not a big-bang weekend
- ✓
The old tenant decommissioned deliberately, so you stop paying for it
