Android for Work Targets Businesses

Google today updated its Android for Work initiative to better woo corporate users. Android for Work is a set of tools that allow businesses to better manage employee devices. For example, work profiles isolate work data (including email, calendar, contacts) from personal data. Companies can protect the work data, but can't touch the personal data. This works natively in Android 5.0 Lollipop. In devices running Ice Cream Sandwich through KitKat, the Android for Work application houses corporate communications in a separate container that acts like a profile where it can be managed securely. Google Play for Work allows businesses to deploy and manage corporate apps securely, and can prevent unauthorized app downloads. Last, Android for Work includes Google's Docs productivity suite, with additional support for Microsoft Exchange and Notes. Google hopes these tools will convince more businesses to adopt Android.
