Recommendation to adopt Android Enterprise

Release Notes


Abstract

Recommendation to adopt Android Enterprise

Content

Android in the enterprise is a Google-led initiative that brings together Android and Play to enable users to work the way they want, using the devices and apps they love, while giving IT admins the security and management features they need. Google recommends customers using Android platform to leverage Android Enterprise for their enterprise deployments as opposed to traditional Device Administrator based deployments. MaaS360 is encouraging customers to sign-up for and try Android Enterprise. Signing up for Android Enterprise does not impact existing enrolled devices. Future enrollments have the option to choose between traditional Device Administrator based management and Android Enterprise based management.

The help text is added in the Add Device workflows that guide administrators to enable Android Enterprise if not enabled already.
