Activesync seems a reasonable choice if you are already using Exchange Server, which is not applicable since we use proprietary(in our case, cheap) email system without Exchange server. So we are considering between buying MDM solution without affecting existing email system or Changing email system into Exchange compatible that can enable activesync ‘remote wipe’ function.

I gawked when I found that MDM solution that enables remote wipe takes a 1/3 of the mobile project budget. From layman’s view, considering remote wipe seems overinvesting when you already use VPN and encrypt transferred data. Am I too naive?
