Pixel phones that use Android 5.0 and up come with built-in enterprise features to power mobile, connected workforces. Enterprise solution providers help organizations to manage these features, typically through a management console. After they find the right solution provider, organizations and their employees can access numerous enterprise features* such as:
- Flexible device setup: Support BYOD (bring your own device), COBO (company-owned, business-only), COPE (corporate-owned, personally-enabled) deployments, and dedicated devices (formerly called corporate-owned single-use, or COSU).
- Work profiles for data separation: Use work profiles to separate and secure work apps and data from personal use. This is ideal for BYOD and COPE deployments.
- Multi-layer, built-in security: Benefit from Google Play Protect. Set minimum password requirements, remotely lock devices, and wipe them if they're lost or stolen.
- App distribution: Use Google Play to remotely manage public and private apps on user's devices.
