Android is fast becoming a staple in the enterprise, and the go-to operating system (OS) of choice in many business-critical device deployments. However, it can be challenging for companies to find a solution that gives them the level of management and security they need for their preferred Android devices. SOTI MobiControl, with its industry leading Android management capabilities, ensures Android devices are secured, managed and supported, regardless of OS version or device manufacturer. With compatibility certification of devices from over 170 Android device manufacturers, SOTI puts companies in the driver’s seat by giving them the freedom to choose the Android devices that best fit their business.
Android+
SOTI’s Android+ technology was originally introduced to address the lack of management capabilities that enterprises needed to adopt Android devices. Since then, it has evolved to combine SOTI’s unique Android management capabilities, with management capabilities offered by Android Enterprise, as well as those offered by OEMs. The net result of this combination is the most comprehensive Android management available on any Android device.
SOTI Device Certification Program
SOTI partners with over 170 device manufacturers to validate core EMM functionality and verify device compatibility with SOTI MobiControl. This same service is available to you to make sure that your chosen mobile devices will perform as expected: no bugs, no surprises, and no problems.
Android Enterprise
Android Enterprise is Google’s framework for mobility management on devices running Android Lollipop and greater. Unlike the proprietary device management capabilities introduced by Android OEMs, Android Enterprise gives enterprise IT a more consistent management experience across Android devices from different manufacturers. As an Android Enterprise Recommended EMM solution, SOTI MobiControl offers the most comprehensive support for Android Enterprise and supports all deployment types from BYOD to dedicated-purpose. SOTI’s commitment to Android Enterprise guarantees the broadest feature set and future Android device compatibility.
