BlackBerry and Google team up to hold a webinar

With the Android powered BlackBerry Priv raising up quite a storm in the world of smartphones, it could be that Google and BlackBerry are fast becoming bosom buddies. In fact, the two are teaming up to conduct a webinar on October 15th, this coming Thursday. The event starts at 11am EDT.

Hosting the event for the BlackBerry side will be David Arnold, Senior Enterprise Solutions Manager for BlackBerry Enterprise. Google will call on Michael Wyatt to handle the Android portion of the event. Wyatt runs Chrome and Android at Google for the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market.

The webinar will run for approximately 45 minutes, and will show businesses how using BlackBerry's BES12 EMM together with Android for Work, can reduce security risk, improve productivity, and lower costs. BES12 supports BlackBerry, iOS, Android and Windows Phone. If you're interested in registering for the event, click on the sourcelink.

"Android is the world's most popular mobile platform, with an 85% share of the market. It's no surprise then that Android is also the target for 98% of all mobile malware. User adoption and security threats are both considerations that IT administrators and business leaders need to address.

Today, you have an opportunity to leverage BES12, the leading Enterprise Mobility Management solution from BlackBerry, and Android for Work, an integrated solution designed by Google for managing work data, apps, and content on Android devices.

By applying management, collaboration, and security principles, businesses can turn Android risk mitigation into an incredible opportunity for increasing productivity and keeping costs down. Learn how by registering for the BES12 & Android for Work webinar."-BlackBerry, Google
