Android for Work

Google had introduced Android for Work, which is aimed at corporate apps, It is common nowadays for employees use their personal phone for work-related acclivities as well. Google is making it easier to do that by having the work-related apps marked with Android badges that will distinguish them from other Apps. As a part of this effort, it is also introducing Android for Work, an online store for business apps.

Some challenges for Google,
  - Google is focused on consumer mass-market, not a strong enterprise presence
  - According a analyst, many enterprises believe that the Android OS is not secure enough. According to research from Good technology, Apple has 73% of enterprise activations, while Android has only 25%.
  - Android Lollipop (which is required for Google for Work feature) has only been adopted on 1.6%  of Android devices.
