"If you're using Apple products in your business, it is essential you also use a device management service, - but migrating between services has always been challenging. That will change with the release of Apple's upcoming operating systems, which should make it easier to move between MDM platforms, including the big names such as InTune or Jamf. MDM migration was a pain This has been something Apple IT has wanted for a long time. It understands the many reasons it might be necessary for a company to switch between MDM services, such as:"
"Moving to a cloud-based device management service from an on-premises solution. Combining devices into a single device management service when acquiring another company. Migrating between services for more specific corporate reasons. The process was difficult because a single device could only carry a single MDM profile, and Apple's Automated Device Enrollment locked devices to one MDM. The only way to migrate was to remove a device from the original MDM, wipe the device (!) and then manually reenroll it with the new MDM provider."
Apple devices used in business require a device management service, and migrating between services has historically been difficult. Companies may need to switch MDMs when moving from on-premises to cloud solutions, consolidating devices after acquisitions, or for other corporate reasons. A single device could only hold one MDM profile, and Automated Device Enrollment locked devices to a single MDM, forcing administrators to remove devices from the original MDM, fully wipe them, and then manually reenroll them with the new MDM provider. Upcoming Apple operating system releases will simplify migration between MDM platforms, including InTune and Jamf.
