Google has launched the Android Enterprise Recommended program for Enterprise Mobility Management to help customers find the best equipped EMMs to successfully deploy Android.
With this program, Google are recognising partners who provide the most comprehensive technical solutions and have knowledgeable teams focused on modern Android security and management.
The first partners added to the program are BlackBerry, Google Cloud, I3 Systems, IBM, Microsoft, MobileIron, Softbank, SOTI, and VMware to the program. According to Google, these partners have validated solutions or will be launching their offerings throughout 2019, and the company will add more approved partners over time.
Customers can expect Android Enterprise Recommended EMMs to demonstrate the following qualities:
- Experience across multiple Android Enterprise management sets
- Proven ability to deliver advanced security and management features
- A consistent deployment experience, with admin consoles that simplify set-up of Android Enterprise
- Documentation and guides that provide best practices for Android Enterprise set-up and configuration
- Google-trained personnel across field sales, technical pre-sales and deployment support
- Commitment to staying current on the latest Android product features and training requirements
Similar to last year’s launch of the Android Enterprise Recommended program for devices, where Google validated knowledge worker and rugged devices against an elevated set of requirements, Google are taking a similar approach to EMMs.
