Android for Work that more business options, features and safety brings to Android, has been officially launched by Google. Here, among other profiles made possible with business and private data can be separated but also updating applications within a company can go through the Play Store.
Android for Work officially
A large group of people use their smartphone for business and private and Android for Work plays include this in. During the developer conference, Google I / O, Google announced the initiative last year, and leave through a blog post that Android for Work now is ready.
The new addition to Android provides additional options for deploying Android devices safer, more efficient and easier to do especially in the business market. Android for Work consists of several parts.
Work profiles, separate business and private
Android 5.0 built his work profiles, making business data as it were isolated from other information. This we saw back in example Samsung KNOX. Indeed, these possibilities are partly from KNOX: Samsung has a portion of the business opportunities that the company had developed ‘donated’ to Android
The separation of work and home life has great benefits for the employee. The employer only has access to the business area and therefore has nothing to do with the private photos, files and other information. The following, somewhat technical video tells more about the separation of work and home life with Android for Work.
Android app for Work and other business apps
Devices running Android 4.0 to and with Android 4.4, use the special Android for Work-app to use job profiles. In this example the business agenda apps and business email separated from the incoming e-mail and calendar of the employee.
Android for Work are also built in productivity tools, such as a special e- mail app, contacts, calendar, and Office apps. The Android app is tested for Work under the name Divide Productivity Preview since November, by a number of companies. The name ‘Devide’ takes this app to the company with the same name that Google acquired last year. Business apps can be identified by the special Android for Work logo displayed on app icons.
Google Play for Work
Google Play for Workgroups is not new, but now included in the Android Work program. Businesses that use Google Apps for Work can offer a private, screened version of the Play Store. This special version of the Play Store is to bring the companies easy updates and new versions of its own apps for devices of employees. It is also possible to purchase apps that can be installed within the company.
Many support
Of course, you do not have much to these new business opportunities as there are no companies that support the system. Therefore, they have in recent months worked hard to get to as many companies offer support for Android for Work.
Android for Work does not have to be operated from a new environment, but is supported by a whole range of Mobile Device Managment solutions like SAP, SOTI, Citrix, and obviously BlackBery Google Apps for Work.
