About the "Android Enterprise" configuration
Android Enterprise separates your personal life from your work life by creating a “Work Profile” on your device and installing Mass General Brigham enterprise apps in this profile. Only data in the “Work Profile” will be managed by your organization. Your personal data is kept separate and private.
Android Enterprise allows Mass General Brigham to leverage technologies that enable special “Work Badged” version of Google Play apps.
Some examples of "enterprise" versioned Google Play apps provided through Ivanti Go include:
- Gmail: Your Mass General Brigham email will be configured with the familiar Gmail app
- Google Calendar: Your Mass General Brigham calendar will appear through the Google Calendar app
- Ivanti Go Tunnel: An always on VPN Tunnel to allow you to connect to SharePoint, your Home Drive and other internal resources
- Dropbox: A specialized version of Dropbox to provide access your Mass General Brigham Dropbox Business account
