It's called Intune, or Mobile Device Management, MDM. Those paranoid types need to understand that without Intune just because they have an email account Admins can already wipe their entire phone. MDM adds a profile to the phone that allows Admins to wipe only the company data instead of the whole phone.
Seems like people would be much more agreeable if they new it added the option to just wipe the company data instead of the whole phone.
I set it up and tried it on my iPhone. It was pretty neat. It wiped just my company email account, VPN, Office Apps, and One drive files. Just the company stuff. Nothing personal was touched. Then I okayed the device again. Then was able to setup Intune again and it all popped back on the phone. Before it would have been a hassle to go thru and get rid of all the company stuff.
I would like to see similar management profiles for mobile, and/or home computers. So if an employee is terminated all the company data can be wiped from their laptop or home computer as well.
When people had company provided phones we wiped the whole phone when they were terminated. No big deal since they turned the phones in. Tried to get them to go to MDM when they had users take responsibility for their phones, but the IT Director thought it was too much trouble to set up.
