Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced it will join Android Enterprise Recommended, a Google-led program aimed at making it easier for enterprise businesses to integrate mobile solutions into their operations.
Samsung’s participation in the program gives its customers added assurance that its participating products meet – and in fact exceed – the hardware and software requirements set out by Google for the enterprise.
Samsung Electronics Australia’s Head of Solutions and Services, IT and Mobile, Martin Brown, said: “This announcement is testament to Samsung’s ongoing commitment to provide our enterprise customers with the absolute pinnacle of what our devices, solutions, and collaboration with Google can deliver. We have combined the very best of Samsung hardware, software, and security solutions, with the confidence that Android Enterprise Recommended provides to business customers seeking seamless integration with their mobile operations. We look forward to being a part of AER in Australia and further supporting enterprise and business customers with best we have to offer.”
Since the very beginning, Samsung and Google have worked closely together to work to provide enterprises with the best and most secure mobile experience possible. The two companies joined forces nearly a decade ago to address the most pressing challenges businesses are facing today: maintaining productivity, protecting the workforce and offering flexibility.
Specifically, over the past two years, Samsung and Google have partnered to:
Harmonize Android Enterprise and Samsung’s Knox Platform for Enterprise to offer a seamless experience for Android customers who were also looking for Samsung’s advanced capabilities in security and device management.
Synchronize our mobile device enrollment services (Android zero-touch enrollment and Knox Mobile Enrollment) to offer enterprise customers a variety of services that help streamline the employee onboarding experience and re-deployment of devices.
“We are excited to welcome participating Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets to the Android Enterprise Recommended program building upon our longstanding partnership to deliver great mobile experiences to businesses,” said David Still, Managing Director of Android Enterprise, Google. “Samsung’s participation in the program ensures Google’s customers have access to devices that offer outstanding security, efficiency and productivity and we look forward to working together more in the future.”
