Good Technology Provides a Lay of the Land for Enterprise Mobile Adoption

Over the past 6 months we have seen Mobile Devices Management (MDM) solution providers push to bring their functionalities into Android devices. Recently companies like MobileIron and SOTI (just to name a few) have joined others in providing solutions to the Android OS, which has been a bit of a struggle due to the lack of common or consistent APIs for Mobile Device Management (MDM) providers to work with. The push to provide Android support is for good reason, as shown in a recent study released by Good Technology.
