Workspace ONE UEM (AirWatch) to Intune Migration

A proven path from Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune

Leverage Mobile Mentor’s proven migration process to seamlessly move from Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune. Modernize your modern endpoint management strategy, simplify administration, strengthen endpoint security, and unlock the benefits of Microsoft’s cloud-native platform.

Do you have a plan to successfully migrate from Workspace ONE (Airwatch) to Intune?

Microsoft Intune has matured into a powerful platform for unified endpoint management, giving businesses a cloud-native approach to managing Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices.

Many businesses are exploring their options for moving from Workspace ONE to Intune as they look to consolidate their Microsoft environment, improve endpoint security, and simplify device administration.

Our migration plan gives you a roadmap, timeline, and best practices for moving from Workspace ONE to Intune.

We assess your Workspace ONE UEM environment, identify gaps and dependencies, and create a tailored migration plan. You receive a deployment roadmap, timeline, and best-practice guidance for user communication.

Migrating to Intune requires you to reconsider security policies, device management profiles, compliance rules, applications, and the impact on employees and contractors. A poorly planned migration can result in data loss, unnecessary device wipes, enrollment issues, and frustrated users.

Our approach is designed to minimize disruption while establishing a foundation for modern device lifecycle management, Zero Trust, and cloud-native management.

 Why Move from Workspace ONE to Intune?

Moving from Workspace ONE to Intune isn’t simply a platform change. It can be an opportunity to simplify your technology environment, improve security, and get more value from your Microsoft investment.

  • Cost Optimization

    Consolidating endpoint management with Microsoft Intune can help organizations reduce overlapping management tools and administrative overhead. For organizations already invested in Microsoft 365, moving endpoint management into the Microsoft ecosystem can create opportunities to optimize technology spending.

  • Microsoft Integration

    Intune works natively with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Defender, and other Microsoft security and productivity services. This creates a more connected management experience across identity, devices, applications, and data.

  • Security Improvements

    Intune provides a foundation for stronger endpoint security by connecting device management with identity and security controls. Organizations can use device compliance, Conditional Access, Microsoft Entra, and Microsoft security capabilities to create a more comprehensive security strategy.

  • Zero Trust Readiness

    A modern endpoint strategy is a critical component of Zero Trust. Intune can help organizations establish device-based controls and enforce access policies based on user, device, application, and security conditions.

  • Simplified Administration

    Moving to a single, cloud-native management platform can reduce complexity for IT teams. Instead of managing disconnected tools and policies, teams can bring device management, application deployment, compliance, and security controls together through Microsoft Intune.

Workspace ONE to Intune Migration FAQs

The timeline depends on the number and type of devices, operating systems, applications, policies, integrations, and business requirements. A well-planned migration typically begins with discovery and assessment before moving into pilot testing and phased deployment.

In many scenarios, devices can transition to Intune without a full wipe. The appropriate approach depends on the device platform, current enrollment method, ownership model, and how Workspace ONE is configured. Our migration planning process identifies the lowest-impact approach for each device population.

Existing Workspace ONE compliance policies are reviewed and mapped to Microsoft Intune. Policies may need to be redesigned rather than copied directly because the platforms use different configurations and capabilities. We identify gaps and ensure the resulting Intune policies support your security and compliance requirements.

We inventory the existing application portfolio and determine how each application should be packaged, deployed, updated, and managed through Intune. Applications are prioritized based on business criticality and tested before broad deployment.

There is no single number that works for every organization. Migration waves should be determined based on device types, user groups, applications, business criticality, geographic distribution, and support capacity

BYOD devices require a different approach from corporate-owned devices. Rather than treating them like fully managed corporate endpoints, organizations can use Intune enrollment and application/data protection capabilities appropriate to their BYOD strategy. We assess your existing Workspace ONE BYOD configuration and recommend the right transition approach.
