You Never Actually Chose Windows.
Or Maybe You Did.

And maybe you did, back when the choice was obvious. It’s less obvious now. Either way, running your company on Apple is far more possible than you’ve probably been told, and most of what stopped you was true a decade ago rather than today. Here’s the list businesses give us for never taking a serious look, and what we usually tell them.

Switching a business from a Windows PC to a Mac.

"Our accounting software would never run on a Mac"

Tell us what you're running. If it's QuickBooks Online or anything else that lives in a browser, it already runs on a Mac. If you're on a desktop version from years back, that's a conversation worth having no matter what hardware you buy next.

"We're a Microsoft shop, so we're stuck"

Being a Microsoft business and being a Windows business stopped being the same thing a long time ago. Your licensing, your mailboxes and your security policies don't change when the hardware does.

"Macs are for the design team"

Law firms, accounting practices, agencies and medical offices run their entire operation on Apple. That association is long out of date.

"Moving all our files would be a nightmare"

Files are the most predictable part of the whole project. Everything gets copied, checked on both sides, and nothing gets deleted until your team confirms it's all there.

"Our IT guy says it isn't worth it"

He might be a Windows guy who'd rather not manage Macs, or hasn't had a reason to learn. Worth asking what specifically makes it not worth it. Macs hold their resale value longer than PCs, they generate fewer day to day headaches, and when the CrowdStrike update took down Windows machines around the world in 2024, the Mac side of every business kept working.

"Half of us use iOS or macOS at home, but work is different"

Think about how efficiently you move on your own devices. Things sync, apps open when you tap them, and you rarely think about the machine at all. That same efficiency is available at work, with fewer problems to worry about along the way.

The big one everybody asks about is Microsoft 365. It looks and works the same on a Mac as it does on a PC, and that gap closed years ago.

Staying on Windows should be a decision you made, not a default you inherited.

Your Business Probably Isn’t the Exception

Almost everyone we talk to assumes theirs is. Something about their industry, their software, or the way they’ve always worked that makes Apple a non starter.

We've been helping Apple based businesses for twenty plus years.

We’ve moved and supported companies in law, healthcare, construction, logistics, financial services, private equity, software development, marketing and real estate. Whatever your business does, somebody in your industry is already running it on Macs.

There are a handful of tools that genuinely belong on a PC. When yours is one of them, we’ll tell you. It doesn’t come up often.

You See the Whole Plan Before Anything Starts

1

Book the call.

In twenty five minutes you'll know whether your business can run on Apple and what stands in the way.

2

Get the plan in writing.

What moves, what it costs, how long it takes, and anything we think should keep you on Windows for now.

3

Hand it to us.

We run the migration and set up every Mac, on a schedule that doesn't stop your business.

Ongoing support after the move.

ProCare is our managed service. We act as your IT department: day to day support, monitoring, maintenance, cybersecurity and strategic IT planning. The work that matters most happens quietly in the background, catching things early and keeping your security current without anyone having to think about it. Hiring, offboarding and the next hardware refresh stop being scrambles and turn into a process. And your leadership meetings get technology as a status update rather than a problem to solve.

Mac vs PC for Business

Forrester put the difference at about 100 minutes per employee per month. On a team of twenty that’s 33 hours a month of working time you’re already paying for.

Every figure there is per employee or per device, so run them against your own headcount. Multiply by what an hour of your team’s time is worth and you’ll have the dollar figure for running your business on Macs instead of PCs.

Macs do carry a heavier price upfront. Apple’s leasing program spreads that into a monthly payment, usually at a better number than buying outright, and when the term is up you hand the old machines back rather than working out what to do with them. That last part matters more than people expect, because business machines age out in three to five years no matter what you buy. Forty plus hours a week is heavy use, and technology moves quickly enough that a five year old machine is a dinosaur either way.

Why You Must Switch your law firm to Macs and Why GlobalMac IT is The Support Partner You Need For eight years we struggled with PCs and PC service providers. The equipment kept costing more and more and the service providers we used kept going out of business. Every problem was a “crisis” that required hours, if not days, to fix, and that’s when were able to reach the service provider at all. Quite often they would say they would be available in about 72 hours, as if it was okay for us to be down that long. Proactivity was a pipe dream and I was spending a lot my own time, every day, trying to fix issues, instead of running my law firm.

The Apple Business Team in Cupertino connected us with GlobalMac IT when I was ready to migrate over. Within 30 days everyone was acclimated to the change, and things were much simpler. Tasks that took a lot of time on a PC took substantially less on the Mac. Large problems are now almost unheard of and when we do have issues or need support, GlobalMac IT is always there. Many times, support tickets are fixed the same day. No longer do we feel like we are imposing on their time like our previous IT providers; instead they continue to tell us that they are here to help us and make us more productive.

Looking back 2 years later, we cannot imagine going back to PCs or leaving GlobalMac IT. It has been one of the best decisions we made as a company.

Questions We Get

How much is this going to cost me?
Four things set it: how many PCs you’re retiring, how many Macs you’re moving to, how much of your business already runs in the cloud, and whether you’ve got servers on site. Two companies the same size can land in very different places, which is why we price it after we look rather than publishing a number that would be wrong for most people.
How long is my team dead in the water?
They aren’t. Most of the work happens in the planning before anything moves, and the switch itself is a couple of hours per person. The part worth preparing for is what comes after. Workflows change, and where people go to do things changes, so training and change management matter more than migration day does. That’s part of the job, not an afterthought.
What about the software that only runs on Windows?
We find it during the consult, when we go through what your team does day to day and which apps they use. From there it goes one of two ways. If there’s genuinely no Mac equivalent that does the same job and everyone in the company depends on it, moving to Macs may not be right for you, and we’ll tell you that. If it’s one or two people who need it, we can set up a virtualized Windows environment where they do that specific work. A lot of law firms run exactly that way.
Is my team going to hate this?
The people who struggle most are the ones who’ve used the same Windows machine for ten years, and they get extra time and a direct line to a technician. Most people are working normally the same day.
What happens to our files and email?
Everything gets copied, checked on both sides, and nothing is deleted until your team confirms it’s all there. Your old machines stay available for a couple of weeks afterward.
We already have an IT company.
Ask them what they think, then pay attention to where that answer is coming from. A Windows shop has its tools, its processes and its people built around PCs, and Mac work is usually five or ten percent of their client base. Building that expertise rarely pencils out for them, and nobody recommends a change that moves work away from their own shop. That’s generally why the answer comes back as “not worth it.
