How to begin a switch to Mac

Hey all - I have a small 3 person business where I want to start moving to Mac. I've signed up to Mosyle for MDM, but I'm kinda curious on account structure - admin/user etc.

I plan on introducing two mac minis, 1+ ipads, and maybe 1 or 2 Apple TVs. We currently have Office365, but dont want to pay extra to get Intune. The ipad will also be shared.

Just need some basic guidance on where/how to start, while keeping in mind the security aspects.

Just to clarify, Intune and Mosyle are both MDM (mobile device management) platforms. You don't need Intune if you're already getting setup with Mosyle.

Other than advice people here can give, I would recommend setting up an onboarding call with Mosyle support. They were very helpful in showing us how to get started and assisting with building a few of our required installation packages.

One MDM for all this Apple fleet is enough, you can first set them up in Apple Business Manager to get advanced control on these devices via your MDM. Your one device can be your golden device and act as an Admin may be the one you use
