As BYOD is more and more adopted by businesses, a new approach for MDM is needed.
Exchange ActiveSync is there but limited to Exchange and do not support selective wipe.

Announce of the availabilty for Q1’2015 of a new service completely integrated with Office 365 : MDM for Office 365It will be activated via Office 365 admin portal. You will get access to a new Office 365 compliance console. There you will be able to define policies. They apply to a group (from one people to the whole company) and can be used to define life cycle policies :

  1. conditional access (at authentication time)
  2. device controls (during normal usage)and then
  3. selective  wipe (a “wonderful” progression from previous ActiveSync capabilites) for only professional apps (those managed by InTune)

This relies on Azure AD for the back-end. There will be a MDM software that will run on the device.

Intune extension is available to get even more feature (see below).
