i Cubed (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; President and CEO: Tsutomu Sasaki; hereinafter i Cubed ") announces that its MDM service "CLOMO MDM" has become the first in Japan to support Windows 10 Mobile, through collaboration (*1) with Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takuya Hirano; hereinafter "Microsoft Japan").This support enables IT administrators at enterprises, educational institutions, and medical facilities using "CLOMO MDM" to centrally manage Windows 10 Mobile devices, regardless of type (smartphones, tablets, PCs), and perform remote security measures and device settings just as they do for iOS/Android devices.
Furthermore, optional services for "CLOMO MDM" that enable advanced management and operations, such as "enhanced authentication for connecting to business systems like internal systems, cloud services, and VPNs" and "24/7 remote lock and wipe代行 services," are now also supported on Windows 10 Mobile. This allows for the realization of a mobile management environment that meets the advanced security requirements demanded by Japanese financial institutions and major corporations.
■ Background of Enhanced Windows 10 Mobile Support
Windows 10 Mobile smartphones are gaining attention, particularly in the financial and manufacturing industries, due to their compatibility with existing business systems within enterprises, educational institutions, and healthcare organizations. Features like "Continuum for Phone" are also highly regarded, enabling a Windows 10 desktop-like environment by connecting an external display, keyboard, and mouse to the smartphone.
To fully leverage the appeal of Windows 10 Mobile smartphones,it is necessary to proactively consider security and operational measures based on the premise that they must "safely access internal systems and cloud services" and "be used for diverse purposes when taken outside the company."
We have supported mobile utilization and management for over 6,000 companies in Japan, primarily focusing on iOS and Android. Leveraging insights gained from this experience, we have developed an MDM service that maximizes the potential of Windows 10 smartphones.
In developing Windows 10 Mobile support, we are collaborating with the following companies. We have also received comments from some of these companies.

- Third Wave Diginos Co., Ltd.
- Genesis Holdings Co., Ltd.
