Face the future today by moving your application to cloud native

Microsoft

Sep 15, 2025

Migrating applications from Configuration Manager and other on-prem solutions to Microsoft Intune cloud native remains a challenging and time consuming undertaking, especially when dealing with complex line-of-business, legacy, and custom home-grown applications. Some organizations pursuing a full cloud-native management vision are encountering blockers related to application compatibility, re-packaging, and the scale of existing app estates - all while trying to maintain business continuity, device compliance, and preparing for the AI Copilot era.

Technical and business value of migration

Centralizing application management with Microsoft Intune delivers significant operational benefits: unified policy enforcement, improved security posture via Zero Trust, and seamless integration with Microsoft security solutions like Entra. The shift to cloud managed apps not only streamlines management processes but also underpins digital transformation goals, enabling secure remote work, faster onboarding, and continuous compliance in single solution.

Microsoft partner ecosystem: here to help

To address the complex realities of app migration, the Microsoft partner ecosystem has stepped up with specialized offers designed to reduce risk and accelerate cloud adoption. As part of this initiative: starting today, our Microsoft partners Rimo3 and Robopack are offering no-cost, time-limited app migration service to all Intune customers who are looking to move from ConfigMgr to Intune.
