Chrome Enterprise Partner
Move browser-centric and frontline Mac roles onto ChromeOS, with a readiness assessment that proves every app has a path first. Lower endpoint TCO, verified-boot security and cloud-native management.
Yes, you can migrate from macOS to ChromeOS. Codimite, a Chrome Enterprise Partner, begins with a ChromeOS Readiness assessment that maps each macOS application to a web app, PWA, VDI session or local equivalent, so you know which roles are ready before any device changes. We then pilot, remediate the gaps, enrol and deploy, and drive adoption, lowering endpoint cost while keeping creative and specialist Mac-only work on the right platform.
Why migrate
ChromeOS hardware is cheaper, cloud-managed and needs less imaging and helpdesk overhead than a Mac fleet; ChromeOS Flex can repurpose eligible Macs.
Verified boot, sandboxing, read-only system partitions and automatic background updates with no traditional executable malware surface.
One Google Admin console manages the fleet from anywhere, policies, apps and updates pushed centrally, no MDM sprawl.
Devices start in seconds and update in the background.
Reserve Macs for the roles that truly need them and move the browser-centric majority to lower-cost ChromeOS.
What we assess
| Area | What we do | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application compatibility | Classify every app: web / PWA / VDI / local | The gating step, each app gets a remediation path before the user moves |
| User profiles | Identity, bookmarks, settings, sign-in | Mapped to your IdP / SSO (Google, Entra, Okta) |
| Policies | Device & user policies in the Admin console | Re-create existing MDM/Jamf policy intent in Chrome Enterprise |
| Peripherals | Printers, scanners, displays, headsets | Compatibility check; alternatives where unsupported |
| Mac-only desktop apps | VDI (Citrix/Horizon), app streaming, or retained Macs | Final Cut, Logic, Xcode and specialist tools handled here |
| Hardware | ChromeOS Flex eligibility check | Repurpose eligible Macs where it makes sense |
The application inventory drives scope and timeline, confirmed up front with the ChromeOS Readiness Tool.
Our process
We inventory every application, peripheral and profile with the ChromeOS Readiness Tool and classify each as web, PWA, VDI or local.
A representative group of roles moves first to validate app paths, peripherals and the day-to-day experience.
We close the gaps, web/PWA equivalents, VDI or app streaming for Mac-only software, and confirmed peripherals.
Devices are enrolled into Chrome Enterprise and policies pushed from the Admin console, in waves, using V-Launcher to surface the right apps per role.
We confirm every migrated role has working apps, peripherals and access before sign-off.
Training, quick-reference guides and hypercare support drive confident adoption.
Why Codimite
ChromeOS migration is a core Codimite practice, delivered as a Chrome Enterprise Partner: our own ChromeOS Readiness Tool makes the migration evidence-based, V-Launcher surfaces the right apps per role, and we flag honestly which creative or specialist roles should stay on macOS or run via VDI.

ChromeOS Readiness Tool. Our own tooling inventories and classifies your macOS app estate so the migration is evidence-based.
V-Launcher. Our app-surfacing layer gives each role the right web, PWA and virtualized apps from day one on ChromeOS.
Honest scoping. We flag the creative and specialist roles that should stay on macOS or run via VDI, so nobody is migrated before their apps are ready.
FAQs
For most knowledge-worker, frontline and browser-centric roles, yes. The readiness assessment maps each app first; creative or specialist Mac-only software is handled via VDI or kept on a smaller Mac footprint.
Each app is classified and given a path, most move to the web or a PWA, some run via Citrix/Horizon or Cameyo, and a few may stay on macOS.
Days for a pilot; two to eight weeks for a full fleet, driven by app-compatibility complexity and profile/peripheral count.
Both are strong; ChromeOS adds verified boot, sandboxing, automatic updates and no traditional executable malware surface, simplifying security at scale.
Typically yes, lower-cost, cloud-managed devices with less helpdesk overhead, plus ChromeOS Flex to repurpose eligible Macs.
