Beginning this week, mobile device management (MDM) capabilities are rolling out to Office 365 commercial plans.
Now, Office 365 admins can manage their users’ mobile device activity, i.e. wiping documents without wiping the entire device, requiring device-level PINs, and so on. Many of these capabilities were already part of Microsoft Intune, but now they are available more widely.
