“Without EBF Onboarder for Microsoft Intune, the migration would not have gone so smoothly. Migration costs were reduced by an astonishing 90%, and the migration period was cut from 18 to 6 months.”
“Using the EBF Onboarder migration tool, combined with the in-depth workplace expertise of EBF and Bechtle, we were able to successfully reduce our migration schedule to a minimum. EBF’s support was very competent and fast.”
“In a complex environment—with many different users located in different places and speaking different languages—the multilingual EBF Onboarder is a great solution.”
FAQ
Frequently asked questions – make informed decisions
To migrate devices from one UEM to another, use a phased model: discovery, pilot, wave rollout, and hypercare. The EBF Onboarder is designed for this workflow and helps enterprises move from source to target UEM with dashboard visibility and structured migration governance. This reduces disruption and improves success rates at scale.
Yes, you get 20 free licenses to test EBF Onboarder on your own server and get a realistic idea of whether it is the right UEM migration tool for you.
EBF Onboarder supports migrations from UEM systems such as Workspace ONE, Ivanti EPMM/Neurons, BlackBerry UEM, Jamf, Microsoft Intune, IBM MaaS360, Cisco Meraki, Citrix XenMobile, Sophos, and Managed Bulk Import. We are continuously expanding the list and are happy to accommodate your requirements. Just contact us. Before rollout, EBF validates your source-target matrix to avoid migration blockers.
For thousands of devices, use a staged wave strategy by region, business unit, and device type, starting with low-risk pilot cohorts. Gate each wave with pass criteria for enrollment success, compliance status, and support load. The EBF Onboarder enables this wave-based migration model and provides detailed migration dashboards. This structure minimizes disruption and gives leadership measurable progress throughout enterprise migration.
Yes, you can use EBF Onboarder to migrate Android Enterprise-managed devices (COPE, COBO, COSU, BYOD). For COPE, COBO, COSU: When you start the migration on the device, it will be wiped and restarted in the target UEM. The target UEM system must be configured for Android Zero-touch and Samsung Knox. For BYOD: During MDM migration, the secure container with apps and data is removed. The migration link must be launched in a standard browser on the device outside the container. But don’t worry, we are happy to assist you with any detailed questions – we are here to support you as experts!
The EBF Onboarder does not use Apple DEP, Google Zero-Touch (AZT), or Samsung Knox Enrollment (KME) authentication if the migration does not perform a wipe. If you want to take advantage of the full DEP, AZT, or KME experience, you can use the “Managed Enrollment” target option, which initiates a wipe migration. You can still track the migration status on the dashboard, and users can determine the timing of the migration, but they will lose their data due to the wipe. You can also use the “Enable wipe option for regular migration” option.
For Apple DEP, you can use the EBF Onboarder without resetting to factory settings. In this case, DEP enrollment is not used. The “Supervised” status is retained and the MDM has full functionality afterwards – just like a regular Apple DEP device.
For Android Enterprise-registered devices (COBO, COSU, COPE), a full wipe is always required for an MDM migration.
Yes, the EBF Onboarder can easily migrate DEP and non-DEP devices. However, we recommend using different migration projects to keep track of the UEM migration. For DEP devices, you must ensure that the MDM server in your DEP account points to the new UEM system before the devices are migrated.
Planning a migration requires source inventory, dependency mapping across apps, certificates, and identity, plus a rollback strategy and user communication plan before any production devices are moved. Teams should define pilot cohorts, wave gates, and KPIs for enrollment success, compliance, and incident volume. Early planning significantly reduces rework and improves migration confidence at every wave.
Yes, migrations can be performed with minimal end-user interaction when automation, guided enrollment flows, and communication are designed upfront. The goal is to reduce manual steps while keeping compliance and identity checks intact. The EBF Onboarder supports low-touch migration workflows, improves user experience and reduces service desk pressure during high-volume migration windows.
The EBF Onboarder does not have access to personal data on the devices without the user’s consent. With “Managed Enrollment,” the device is completely wiped. All other forms of migration with standard processing functions only affect company data.
For performance and clarity reasons, the maximum batch size should not exceed 1,000 devices.
The EBF Onboarder platform is a secure, shared cloud server.
Typical UEM migration project duration depends on fleet size, the number of devices migrated simultaneously, your network capacity, the location of your devices, and the availability and resources of your source UEM server. Most enterprise programs run in phases over weeks to months. EBF Onboarder helps shorten execution by standardizing migration workflows and enabling parallel wave operations where appropriate. Timeline confidence improves when organizations define clear migration KPIs before rollout begins.
