Make sure you purchase them from an Google Partner or zero-touch reseller. Then link these new devices with an MDM solution like Cortado MDM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.android.com\/enterprise\/enrollment\/#partners\">Android Enterprise<\/a><\/strong> website is a good starting point for finding resellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s still possible to separate enterprise contacts on old devices, they just need to be linked to the MDM solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creating-separate-enterprise-work-contacts\">Creating Separate Enterprise Work Contacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After downloading an MDM solution, the IT admin can activate data separation on a personally-owned smartphone or corporately owned device via QR code, NFC or an activation token. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Android Enterprise is successfully activated on your smartphone a second contact app is added to your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contacts app is split into two: one for work contacts and one for personal ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now nothing can get mixed up and even when you&#8217;re been called by a business contact, their name &#8211; and not just their number &#8211; is displayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, the workplace contacts app is located in the work profile, so no personal apps can access enterprise work contacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-integrating-android-devices-into-the-company-s-it\">Integrating Android devices into the company&#8217;s IT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cortado.com\/en\/android-device-management\/\">how to integrate Android devices into your company&#8217;s IT<\/a><\/strong>.
