Now that BlackBerry's BES12 enterprise mobility management solution has support for Google's Android for Work, BlackBerry and Google have teamed up to offer free, half-day hands-on workshops demonstrating BES12 with Android for Work.
The co-hosted workshops are being held at Google offices around North America with Google and BlackBerry executives available to show how Android and BlackBerry software can drive mobile user productivity and secure both work and personal data on Android devices.
As BlackBerry noted in the announcement post, those who attend the workshop will learn how Android for Work, enabled with enhanced security and simple management through BlackBerry's BES12 EMM software, will help you turn your employees' Android devices into perfect business tools with:
- Simplified IT management for all devices
- Secure corporate data
- User privacy protected
- All the apps you need
In total, there are five workshops scheduled but due to demand first event, in Toronto on February 2, has already reached capacity. The remaining four workshops still have space available.
- Chicago, February 3
- San Francisco, February 9th
- Washington DC, February 10th
- New York City, February 17th
