We’re excited to introduce a new Device Wipe feature, designed to streamline the management and repurposing of company devices. This feature provides a simple and secure way to reset a device to its default factory settings, with the following key benefits and use cases in mind:

Key Features:

• Reallocate a Device to a New Employee: Prepare a device for reuse by wiping it clean to remove all previous data, and allowing it to be reassigned.

• Personal Device Handoff After Offboarding: Enable employees to retain their devices after offboarding by wiping them clean and removing all company-related applications and files.

• Reset a Corrupt Operating System: Easily wipe and reset a device to fix system corruption and start fresh with factory settings.

• Improve Device Performance: Perform a device wipe to potentially resolve performance issues by removing all files, preferences, and apps.

What's Changed:

• Wipe Action can be Taken: All apps, user preferences, files, and system settings will be deleted once the wipe command executes.

• Reinstall Options: After wiping, you can reinstall the Electric Desktop App at any time. When this happens, it will automatically reassign the device to another employee who completes the correct steps.

Why It Matters:

Wiping an employee’s device is crucial for maintaining security and managing an employee lifecycle. When an employee leaves, their device may still contain sensitive information. By wiping the device, you can prevent unauthorized access or data breaches. Additionally, it ensures proper lifecycle management by preparing the device for reassignment or disposal, reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities from forgotten data.
