BlackBerry and Google Partnership Webinar replay now available

BlackBerry and Google have partnered with BES12 and Android for Work. On October 15, BlackBerry and Google together ran a webinar about what this partnership means for business.

Hosted by David Arnold, BlackBerry Senior Enterprise Solutions Manager, and Michael Wyatt, Google EMEA Head of Chrome and Android, the webinar detailed the privacy and security advantages of the two solutions from both an administrative and end-user standpoint.

Google’s Wyatt in particular had a great deal to say about the partnership.

“We were talking to a BlackBerry customer today, and we met the CIO, and he was really excited,” Wyatt explained.

“He saw AFW/BES as a really good opportunity to extend mobility throughout the organization with BlackBerry’s services; a win-win for everybody, really.”

Android for Work is software from Google that lets IT managers create separate work and personal profiles on a user’s Android device for better data security. It allows the end user to switch seamlessly between profiles, and features a full suite of secure productivity apps specifically designed for the software. Paired with BES12, Blackberry’s enterprise mobility management platform, it grants administrators fine-grained, streamlined control of workplace applications and data.

In addition to discussing the partnership itself, topics covered by the webinar include:

  • How Android for Work is designed to safeguard user privacy, and how BES12 further enables that.
  • The features of BES12, and how they interact with Android for Work.
  • How Secure Connect Plus fits in.
  • What makes BES12 the ideal solution for dealing with Android fragmentation.
  • Licensing details for BES12/Android for Work.
