The worlds’ most popular mobile platform, built for business

Within the next five years, companies using handheld enterprise devices will have to move from Windows to Android, which will be one of the biggest industry platform shifts ever. Microsoft has begun to slowly phase out from their Windows mobile and CE Operating Systems and therefore will no longer have automatic fixes, updates and security patches which puts you in at a risk of security breach. Microsoft recently announced they are ending support for all, existing Windows OS devices in 2020. Switching to a new platform before then, will future proof your business but also provide the best chance for a seamless integration.

Android is the mobility powerhouse that is used by billions of people across the world. Widely found on a number of devices from smartphones, wearables, mobile computers, tablets and more, making Android the world’s most popular mobile operating system. Some reasons for the switch includes the fact that many businesses expect industrial handhelds to have a similar user experience as smartphones.

Resulting in an easy transition to Android.
