Getac OEMConfig: Enhanced Android Batch Configuration for EMM Systems

Rugged tablets are increasingly becoming the standard for mobile frontline employees, with Android devices representing the best value for the money. However, when organizations issue a device as standard equipment, it is important to optimize settings and configurations. This leads to maximized productivity and security, and first-time-right efficiency.

Enterprise-scale configuration of mobile devices is normally achieved using an enterprise mobility management (EMM) system. On the other hand, most EMM systems currently in use, even if they meet Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) requirements, enable batch configuration of only a modest number of Android device settings. Many other settings are omitted, thereby creating a device-by-device headache in many instances and a barrier to overall Android adoption.

To eliminate this challenge, businesses need something more, something that enhances Android batch configuration capabilities without requiring changing EMM systems or adding a second one. This is where OEMConfig for Getac Android devices comes into play.
