March 2025 Summaries

Setting up a Miradore site involves enrolling devices, and understanding the various enrollment methods for Android and iOS can help organizations effectively separate professional and personal data while balancing security, efficiency, and user experience. For Android devices, options include BYOD/Work Profile for Android 6+ and COPE/Fully Managed with Work Profile for Android 10+, with differences in data management, control over system updates, and security measures. Meanwhile, iOS devices distinguish between managed and unmanaged data, with restrictions on data sharing to protect corporate information, and features like CallKit and the "Copy & Paste" restriction enhance data protection and functionality. Both systems aim to secure company data while respecting personal privacy, though with varying levels of control and limitations on accessing private data.

Miradore enables efficient management of Point of Sale and specialized Android devices through the use of OEMConfig apps, which provide advanced configuration options not natively available on Android. These apps allow for the automation of tasks such as keeping NFC functionality permanently enabled, controlling display brightness, and managing firmware updates, as demonstrated in examples like Samsung and Zebra devices. In a company cafeteria, for instance, OEMConfig apps ensure that NFC remains active on Samsung smartphones for order placement, while in an assisted living facility, they resolve display brightness issues on tablets. The blog emphasizes the potential for OEMConfig apps to enhance device management by reducing manual interventions and preventing disruptions, encouraging organizations to explore their benefits with guidance from Miradore's experts.
