Ivanti (MobileIron) to Intune Migration

Migrations are painful. We can help.

Do you have a plan to successfully migrate from Ivanti (MobileIron) to Intune?

Our migration plan gives you a roadmap, a timeline, and best practices to migrate from Ivanti (MobileIron) to Intune. We assess your MobileIron environment, identify gaps and dependencies and then create a tailored migration plan. You will receive a deployment roadmap, timeline and best practice guide for user communication. Migrating to Intune requires that you reconsider your security policies, device management profiles and compliance rules. You also need to consider the impact to employees and contractors. A poor migration may wipe all data from your employees’ devices or may require your employees to manually enroll into a new device. A poor migration experience will frustrate users and waste time.

IVANTI TO INTUNE MIGRATION PLAN

Less pain. More gain.

MDM migrations are notoriously painful and often challenge the relationship between IT and the business. This is especially true when devices need to be fully wiped and manually enrolled into the new system. 

These migrations are highly disruptive for end users and frustrating for business leadership. Some of this pain is unavoidable, but good planning and preparation will make the project as smooth as possible.  

Our 5-Step MobileIron to Intune Migration Planning Process:

  • 1

    Assess Your Current Environment - Review MobileIron security policies, device profiles, compliance rules, and integrations. Identify technical dependencies and enrollment methods.

  • 2

    Review use cases, device inventory, ownership, app portfolio

  • 3

    Perform a gap analysis to see how your use cases can be replicated in Intune

  • 4

    Draft migration plan with the ideal sequence, technical dependencies and best practices for user comms

  • 5

    Workshop to review the draft plan, iterate and deliver a final report

A good migration plan will ensure you are successful

  • Intune build is designed to meet your needs and follow best practices

  • Extensive testing to ensure the use cases work in production

  • Everyone knows what is happening, when and why

  • End users have a step-by-step guide for each version of the OS

  • End users get prompt support from a specialist when they need help

“Very thorough, very impressive, and very helpful. I like that you summed it all up for us and it is very clear what our next steps are. Excellent bang for the buck.”

Case Study

Regional Council Migrates Apple Devices from MobileIron to Intune

A large Queensland regional Council embarked on a significant digital transformation initiative to migrate approximately 2,100 Council-owned Apple iPhones and iPads from their existing MobileIron instance to Microsoft Intune. This migration aimed to streamline device management processes, enhance security, and leverage the advanced features offered by Intune.

FAQ About MobileIron to Intune Migrations

Many businesses are standardizing on Microsoft Intune to simplify endpoint management, strengthen security, reduce management overhead, and take advantage of the capabilities already included with Microsoft 365.

In most cases, yes. Devices typically need to be unenrolled from MobileIron and enrolled into Intune. With the right migration strategy, this process can be automated or guided to minimize disruption for end users.

Policies, compliance rules, applications, and configurations are recreated in Intune. Before migration, these settings are reviewed and optimized to take advantage of Intune's modern management capabilities rather than simply copying existing configurations.

Yes. A phased migration approach allows devices to be moved in manageable groups, helping maintain productivity while IT validates policies, applications, and security settings throughout the transition.

The timeline depends on the number of devices, operating systems, applications, and business requirements. Most projects are completed over several weeks, with larger or more complex environments taking longer.

Microsoft Intune supports Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and many specialized frontline devices, allowing organizations to manage their entire endpoint fleet from a single platform.

Intune integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Conditional Access, and other Microsoft security services to deliver a Zero Trust approach with stronger compliance, identity protection, and threat detection.

Yes. Many businesses run both platforms temporarily during a phased migration, reducing risk while validating that devices, applications, and policies are working correctly before fully retiring MobileIron.

Yes, in many cases. A MobileIron to Intune migration does not inherently require a factory reset. Devices can often be unenrolled from MobileIron and enrolled in Intune while preserving the user's data and device configuration.

The exact process depends on the device platform, enrollment method, and whether the organization uses Apple Business Manager, Android Enterprise, or another automated enrollment process. Some scenarios may require additional steps or, in specific cases, a reset.

Apps generally do not need to be manually reinstalled one by one, but they do need to be reassigned and managed through Intune. During the migration, administrators can recreate app deployment policies in Intune and make required apps available or automatically install them after enrollment.

For managed apps, the transition may involve removing MobileIron's management relationship and having Intune take over app deployment and configuration. App data and user data should be tested carefully, particularly for apps that use MobileIron-specific configurations, certificates, or access policies.
