Android enterprise
In this session we learned that Android has truly gone Prime Time Now is the
time to start planning your implementation of Work Profile Work Managed
Device or COSU so that you can avoid challenges such as
Limits on the bulk creation of Gmail accounts
The risks of using Gmail accounts on corporate-owned devices
Limited access to applications if you have no Google account
The burden of application packaging and wrapping
Long setup processes
Bricked devices due to Factory Reset Protection
Android enterprise
Android enterprise features resolve all of these issues and provide
Two options for corporate-managed Google accounts
Managed Google Play accounts that are generated
automatically and randomly without IT or user intervention
Managed Google accounts that can synchronise with Active
Directory for those that plan to access other Google services
such as G Suite Chromebooks or Chrome browser
Advanced provisioning methods to fast-track the setup wizard such as
NFC bump
QR code scan
afw code (DPC Identifier method)
The ability to recover from bricked devices that have activated Factory
Reset Protection when using Work Managed Device
Use of Managed Google Play a single curated application store for
both public and private applications
Google hosting of your private apps to ensure application compatibility
security and global availability

Android security
Android is secure Despite there being over two billion devices across the world
Android has an impressive statistics with only 005 percent of devices be
affected by a Potentially Harmful App (PHA) from Google Play in 2016
Infection rates however are 10-times higher if you enable Unknown Sources
and install applications directly from the internet Googlersquos best practice
recommendation is to only install applications from trusted sources such
as Google Play
Google uses a wide range of mechanisms to keep you safe from malware
including on-device tools such as Google Play Protect Verify Apps amp Safety Net
along with server-based tools such as Dynamic Analysis and Machine Learning

Eugene Zee and Ian Marsanyi provided an overview of Googlersquos EMM
strategy We have published our EMM Partner Requirements which
include a list of Enterprise Solution Sets Each set has Mandatory and
Optional features A partner cannot be validated unless they have met all
of the mandatory requirements for the selected Enterprise Solution Set
To make it easy to choose the appropriate partner solution we have
launched a Partner Locator to search for partners that are validated
against the minimum mandatory requirements for the solution set you
need Partners are validated in the following categories
Partner Top vendor with tight product and GTM alignment and close
collaboration in customer engagements
Solutions provider Validated EMM that meets all the product criteria to deliver a
high-quality solution
Coming soon EMM that does not include all the required functionality to complete validation but has
committed to completing validation

Google devices including Android and Chrome
Silverchain a long-time Android customer with over 4000 devices
used by staff and patients is planning a move to Android
enterprise and providing Chromebooks in place of tablets to
certain users Silverchain delivers 8800 hours of client visits per
day using Android The Chromebooks will provide a low-cost
simple and effective way for staff to access patient information
including using Android applications on Chrome
ldquoIt would be my recommendation for
the Chromebook with the My Assessor

But as Neal French outlined the applicability of Chromebooks go far beyond a next generation PC that suits this new world and Peter Kakasi shared more of their experiences with working with Australian companies across Retail Financial sector and Government to cater for more specialised use cases that increasingly demand a digital platform such as signage kiosks shared terminals
Peter dived deeper into ChromeOSrsquo security design principles incorporating many built-in security features You are welcome to follow up and watch our Product Management team go through these in more detail here

On Day 2 the Business Stream covered how to Go Google with Chrome G Suite Google Cloud Platform and Mobility
Going Google The Chrome Story
Googlersquos journey with Chrome devices has been a resounding success story in Education for a while both in US and outside but in the past couple of years Chromebooks have also been given an Enterprise make-over The simplicity of a browser centric device with now access to Android apps as well and enterprise ready with VPN Certs and SSO all centrally managed from the cloud Chrome devices give IT managers greater peace of mind with a highly productive computer
There was a good appreciation in the room of the lsquohamster wheelrsquo operational overhead of continuously managing traditional platforms With the increasing uptake of web and cloud based applications the browser has become the most prominent business critical application in many businesses Catering for these and many rich HTML5 apps like Citrix for VDI Chrome devices a perfect choice for many

Going Google The G Suite and Google Cloud Platform Story
Sara Djelassi and Steve Mansfield ran an interactive workshop on G Suite and GCP
The underlying paradigm was to have a presentation aimed at showing how our software technology stack can help businesses tackle the challenges of the future
Business Stream
Links to documentation
The workshop was in three parts
1 G Suite2 A demo linking G Suite and GCP3 GCP
The G Suite discussion was all about how to work anywhere effectively collaborate in real time enable teams to work together to improve results quickly create connections between data and people foster the creation of ideas all so that we can be better faster and more responsive The demo was showing how organisations can liberate data by using the integration between GCP and G Suite We used the fun example of crowd-sourcing some music artists and seeing how popular they are against Internet playlists To do this we used G Suite Forms to crowd source the choices Sheets to de-dupe responses GCP Big Query to query against the playlists data and Sheets again to present the results And all in just a few minutes For GCP we presented a real world customer Spotify to show how a focus on your core strength and the customer through the liberation of your data enables you to make better and faster decisions
In many organisations not all workers have access to an enterprise enrolled mobile device and even those that do often cannot access all of the same enterprise applications that they can from a PC Reasons for this include
Budget prohibits issuing a corporate owned mobile device to every employee
BYOD does not always fill the gap because employees are concerned about
privacy user experience such IT policies that force complex passwords and
the impact to work life balance
Android is often not approved as a platform due to perceptions about security
and enterprise readiness
Business Stream
Going Google The Mobility Story
In this workshop Gerard Kennedy provided an overview of how to review and audit your business environment to identify use cases for deploying mobility discover pain points and begin to assess the impact those pain points are having on business productivity

Android is secure Despite there being over two billion devices across the world
Android has an impressive statistics with only 005 percent of devices be
affected by a Potentially Harmful App (PHA) from Google Play in 2016
Infection rates however are 10-times higher if you enable Unknown Sources
and install applications directly from the internet Googlersquos best practice
recommendation is to only install applications from trusted sources such
as Google Play
Google uses a wide range of mechanisms to keep you safe from malware
including on-device tools such as Google Play Protect Verify Apps amp Safety Net

Going Google The Chrome Story
Googlersquos journey with Chrome devices has been a resounding success story in Education for a while both in US and outside but in the past couple of years Chromebooks have also been given an Enterprise make-over The simplicity of a browser centric device with now access to Android apps as well and enterprise ready with VPN Certs and SSO all centrally managed from the cloud Chrome devices give IT managers greater peace of mind with a highly productive computer
There was a good appreciation in the room of the lsquohamster wheelrsquo operational overhead of continuously managing traditional platforms With the increasing uptake of web and cloud based applications the browser has become the most prominent business critical application in many businesses Catering for these and many rich HTML5 apps like Citrix for VDI Chrome devices a perfect choice for many

Sara Djelassi and Steve Mansfield ran an interactive workshop on G Suite and GCP
The underlying paradigm was to have a presentation aimed at showing how our software technology stack can help businesses tackle the challenges of the future

The workshop was in three parts
1 G Suite2 A demo linking G Suite and GCP3 GCP
The G Suite discussion was all about how to work anywhere effectively collaborate in real time enable teams to work together to improve results quickly create connections between data and people foster the creation of ideas all so that we can be better faster and more responsive The demo was showing how organisations can liberate data by using the integration between GCP and G Suite We used the fun example of crowd-sourcing some music artists and seeing how popular they are against Internet playlists To do this we used G Suite Forms to crowd source the choices Sheets to de-dupe responses GCP Big Query to query against the playlists data and Sheets again to present the results And all in just a few minutes For GCP we presented a real world customer Spotify to show how a focus on your core strength and the customer through the liberation of your data enables you to make better and faster decisions
In many organisations not all workers have access to an enterprise enrolled mobile device and even those that do often cannot access all of the same enterprise applications that they can from a PC Reasons for this include
Budget prohibits issuing a corporate owned mobile device to every employee
BYOD does not always fill the gap because employees are concerned about
privacy user experience such IT policies that force complex passwords and
the impact to work life balance
Android is often not approved as a platform due to perceptions about security
and enterprise readiness

Sara Djelassi and Steve Mansfield ran an interactive workshop on G Suite and GCP

The workshop was in three parts
1 G Suite2 A demo linking G Suite and GCP3 GCP
The G Suite discussion was all about how to work anywhere effectively collaborate in real time enable teams to work together to improve results quickly create connections between data and people foster the creation of ideas all so that we can be better faster and more responsive The demo was showing how organisations can liberate data by using the integration between GCP and G Suite We used the fun example of crowd-sourcing some music artists and seeing how popular they are against Internet playlists To do this we used G Suite Forms to crowd source the choices Sheets to de-dupe responses GCP Big Query to query against the playlists data and Sheets again to present the results And all in just a few minutes For GCP we presented a real world customer Spotify to show how a focus on your core strength and the customer through the liberation of your data enables you to make better and faster decisions
In many organisations not all workers have access to an enterprise enrolled mobile device and even those that do often cannot access all of the same enterprise applications that they can from a PC Reasons for this include
Budget prohibits issuing a corporate owned mobile device to every employee
BYOD does not always fill the gap because employees are concerned about
privacy user experience such IT policies that force complex passwords and
the impact to work life balance
Android is often not approved as a platform due to perceptions about security
and enterprise readiness

Sara Djelassi and Steve Mansfield ran an interactive workshop on G Suite and GCP
The underlying paradigm was to have a presentation aimed at showing how our software technology stack can help businesses tackle the challenges of the future

The workshop was in three parts
1 G Suite2 A demo linking G Suite and GCP3 GCP
The G Suite discussion was all about how to work anywhere effectively collaborate in real time enable teams to work together to improve results quickly create connections between data and people foster the creation of ideas all so that we can be better faster and more responsive The demo was showing how organisations can liberate data by using the integration between GCP and G Suite We used the fun example of crowd-sourcing some music artists and seeing how popular they are against Internet playlists To do this we used G Suite Forms to crowd source the choices Sheets to de-dupe responses GCP Big Query to query against the playlists data and Sheets again to present the results And all in just a few minutes For GCP we presented a real world customer Spotify to show how a focus on your core strength and the customer through the liberation of your data enables you to make better and faster decisions
In many organisations not all workers have access to an enterprise enrolled mobile device and even those that do often cannot access all of the same enterprise applications that they can from a PC Reasons for this include
Budget prohibits issuing a corporate owned mobile device to every employee
BYOD does not always fill the gap because employees are concerned about
privacy user experience such IT policies that force complex passwords and
the impact to work life balance
Android is often not approved as a platform due to perceptions about security
and enterprise readiness
