A new Apple feature makes switching device management easier than ever. Learn why moving to Cortado is now simpler and more secure than it has ever been.
With iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26, Apple has introduced a new feature that marks a real turning point for companies: for the first time, managed Apple devices can be transferred from an existing MDM solution to a new system without resetting, without data loss, and without interruptions.
For companies looking to modernize their device management, this innovation means one thing above all: switching to Cortado has never been easier.
Why Apple Has Rethought MDM Migration
Up until now, switching MDM systems for Apple devices meant one thing: work.
Devices had to be reset, set up again, and re-registered. Even in smaller companies, this was a time-consuming and error-prone process.
With this new feature, Apple removes several challenges at once:
- No more factory reset required
- Better user experience through a seamless transition
- Less IT effort thanks to automated migration via ABM/ASM
- Higher security because the switch is controlled at the system level
- Standardized process that applies to all vendors
When an MDM Switch Is Especially Worth It
In the past, an MDM switch was often a “we’d like to, but…” topic.
With the new Apple MDM Migration, taking a look at alternatives is more worthwhile than ever – especially when:
- the current MDM is limited in usability or functionality
- new security requirements arise
- device fleets grow or become increasingly heterogeneous
- the current vendor’s support or update frequency declines
- consistent management across locations or teams is needed
