• to distribute & manage apps over-the-air.
• Solved the Mobile App Lifecycle Management issue

But why do CIOs still choose iOS?
• IT is risk adverse
• “open source” is scary
• Single device vendor
• Developing apps for single device-UI is easiest
• Data security

Why is Apple permissible?• Apple has worked directly with
enterprises to meet security requirements
• Offered Mobile Device Management capabilities
• Controlled app distribution
• Limited multi-tasking—apps cannot interact with each other or access each other’s data

Android is at a disadvantage• No clear advocate in the
enterprise – who to ask for help
• Open Source OS leads to unmanageable fragmentation
– Varying features & no standards
• Physical ports
• Apps can come from anywhere
• Multi-tasking

How can Android compete?
• Community outlines and agrees enterprise guidelines
• Standard MDM features across all Android OEM vendors
• App auditing service similar to Apple
• Limit fragmentation
