BlackBerry and Google team up to make Android more business-friendly

BlackBerry and Google have joined hands to make Android devices more secure and business-friendly. As part of their enterprise-focused partnership, the two companies will integrate BlackBerry’s BES12 enterprise device deployment service with Android 5.0 Lollipop’s latest security features.

BES12 that already supports Android has many device management features in addition to advanced data encryption and application wrapping features. Now, the company is going to integrate Google Play for Work, which will increase security and smoothly deploy enterprise-related apps on Android devices.

“New features are now available through Android and BES12 that enable organizations to further secure enterprise and personal data on Android devices, set new levels of hardware based encryption, and ensure tight integration with Google Play™ for Work, for increased application management, while delivering a consistent end-user and management experience across their Android fleet,” a post announcing BlackBerry’s partnership with Google read.

Now that the two companies have decided to work together, the probability of BlackBerry launching an Android-powered device (something we all want to see) certainly goes up.
