What is Android Enterprise Mobile Device Management (MDM)?

Android Enterprise is a specially-configured, multi-layered software platform that provides the means for businesses to issue and manage their company devices internally. It enables companies to procure the equipment they need, deploy the devices to their staff, protect the data of the company and the individuals, manage all software updates and device usage, and rollout company-specific applications direct to all company devices.

How does Android Enterprise MDM work?

MDM of any kind provides a huge boost to company productivity, data control, and connectivity. It provides employees with a means of securely accessing company systems and data from home or in the field. Without MDM, the complexities of working remotely would make this kind of access incredibly difficult and unreliable. With Android Enterprise MDM, you can issue devices to employees with the confidence that you're meeting European standards for security and that you're more easily adhering to GDPR. You can set up different pins or passcodes to keep the personal and work profiles secure. This gives the employee full control over their private data. But it also gives your IT department full control over company information. From the central hub, accessible only by authorized members of your team, you can: Rollout software updates across all company devices Install new and updated apps on specified devices Wipe all company data from a device after an employee leaves Remote screen lock reset Track anti-malware security reports Track device usage Reject attempts to download unsafe files or apps

Which devices can you use with MDM Android Enterprise?

The Android Enterprise MDM is designed to accommodate four key types of device deployment: COPE - Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled. This type of deployment is our preferred method at Everphone. Though the company will issue the devices to its employees via our rental program, employees are still able to use their phones for private use, thanks to containerization options within the MDM software. COBO - Corporate Owned, Business Only. With this type of deployment, employees cannot use their devices for personal use and the company retains full control. BYOD - Bring Your Own Device. Employees integrate their own devices into the company MDM software, with containerization to keep work profiles separate. COSU - Corporate Owned, Single Use. The company controls these devices and they can only be used for one specific purpose.
