Migration Process

How we move you from PC to Mac

A structured migration avoids the common pitfalls: application gaps discovered on go-live day, data that didn't transfer, and users who don't know how to find their files. We've done this before. We know what breaks.

  • 1

    Application Audit

    We inventory every application in your Windows environment and classify each as: native macOS, web-based, Microsoft 365, compatible via CrossOver/Parallels, or requiring a workflow change.

  • 2

    Environment Prep

    Apple Business setup, MDM platform configuration, identity provider integration (Entra ID), and configuration profile design, all before a single Mac is ordered.

  • 3

    Phased Rollout

    We migrate department by department, starting with the most tech-comfortable teams. Learnings from each cohort improve the rollout for the next.

  • 4

    User Enablement

    Every migrating employee receives a role-appropriate Mac Essentials session. Mac champions are trained in each department to support their peers.

Application Compatibility

Your apps work on Mac. Here's the proof.

The number one objection to Mac migration is "our software doesn't run on Mac." In 95% of cases, it does, whether natively, via a browser, or through Microsoft 365. Here's how common enterprise software maps across.

Application Category Windows Version Mac Equivalent / Status Status
Email & Calendar Outlook for Windows Outlook for Mac (native) Native
Collaboration Microsoft Teams Teams for Mac (native) Native
Office Suite Microsoft Office 365 Microsoft 365 for Mac (native) Native
CRM Salesforce / Dynamics Browser-based, full feature parity Web App
ERP SAP / Oracle / Sage Browser or native Mac clients available Compatible
Design & Creative Adobe Creative Cloud Adobe CC for Mac (native, often faster) Native
Development VS Code, JetBrains, Git Full native Mac support, often preferred Native

Common Concerns

Objections we hear. Answers we give.

  • "Our users don't know how to use Mac"

    Reality: Most business workflows on Mac are identical: Microsoft 365, Teams, browser-based apps. For the differences, our Mac Essentials half-day session covers everything a Windows switcher needs. Within 48 hours, most users are faster on Mac than they were on Windows.

  • "Our software only runs on Windows"

    Reality: We audit every application before migration. In our experience, over 90% of enterprise software has a Mac-native equivalent, a browser version, or runs via Parallels Desktop. For the remaining edge cases, we design a workflow solution.

  • "Mac is more expensive than PC"

    Reality: Mac is not only cheaper upfront but also has a lower total cost of ownership over time. Lower helpdesk ticket volumes, fewer malware incidents, longer device lifecycle (3–4 years vs 2–3), and higher residual value. Our TCO model shows the 3-year numbers in ZAR.

  • "IT won't support it"

    Reality: This is a training gap, not a capability gap. We offer a 2-day Apple IT Admin programme that gives your existing IT team the skills to manage a Mac fleet. Alternatively, our managed support service covers the Apple environment entirely.

Start your Mac migration journey

We'll audit your application portfolio, assess your environment, and give you a migration plan with timelines, costs, and a compatibility report, all before you commit to a single device.
