\"SOTI<\/a><\/p>\n

SOTI Inc.<\/a> has just announced a comprehensive same-day support for Google Android for Work. This new feature provides a dedicated workspace with full OS-level encryption to securely separate business and personal data and applications on Android tablets and smartphones when managed by SOTI MobiControl, Android for Work<\/a>, whether they are personal or corporate devices. Person data stays private, while corporate data is secure.<\/p>\n

This is a huge step forward for enterprises that use Android devices in the work place because traditionally, Android OS is considered less secure than iOS or BlackBerry. With this new feature, SOTI and Google hope to change that.<\/p>\n

According to the results of a recent SOTI study, which was also released today, more than 67 percent of global businesses feel that Android devices are integral to their daily operations, yet almost 40 percent have concerns over security of Android devices. By working with Google to deliver same-day support of Android for Work, SOTI provides the mobility management tools and framework to allow the enterprise to welcome Android devices into their BYOD and corporate-liable deployments. By being able to confidently allow employees the freedom of device choice and the peace of mind that there is clear separation of their personal and work content, the enterprise benefits from increased mobile adoption, productivity gains, along with the confidence that corporate data is secure.<\/p>\n

Enterprises can now enroll any device from any manufacturer into their mobility program with SOTI MobiControl and Android for Work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to join the Google\u2019s Android for Work program to address enterprise concerns about supporting Android devices in their mobility strategies,\u201d SOTI CEO Carl Rodrigues said. \u201cAndroid for Work is a mobility game-changer for Android, and creates a level playing field for devices of all types in the enterprise. SOTI MobiControl and Android for Work eliminates the most significant hurdles to adoption of Android in the enterprise, including fragmentation and the lack of a secure method to manage enterprise applications and content on Android devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

SOTI has interviewed over 450 IT professionals from around the globe and found that today\u2019s workforce requires the ability to work anywhere and everywhere and being able to successfully balance the proliferation of devices with the need for security and management is vital to any successful mobility program.
