Android Series Ep 9: VMware Workspace ONE Launcher - 3 minutes read


In the previous episodes, we covered a number of Android Enterprise use cases and how to manage these with Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM).  Today, we want to dive deeper into Workspace ONE Launcher, which enables flexible device customization and seamless end-user experience on corporate-owned, purpose-built devices. With Workspace ONE Launcher, organizations can control every aspect of the device—from apps that users can launch to user interface (UI), policies, network, and beyond—truly enhancing the employee productivity, IT capability, and security.

Task workers in industries, such as retail, healthcare, and manufacturing routinely rely on devices with line-of-business apps to complete mission-critical business operations. These organizations often configure a fleet of devices that are shared by multiple users to save cost. Locking down these devices to a single or a set of purpose-built applications simplifies the user experience, without compromising security. For example, a retail organization may provision Android tablets for its workers with access only to inventory and time card applications that are needed for their roles. Since these workers rely on these mission-critical devices to get their job done, it’s important that organizations choose the right multi-user device management solution to maximize productivity and minimize downtime.

VMware Workspace ONE Launcher is a solution that enables IT to easily configure purpose-built devices into single-app or multi-app mode with the ability to prevent user access to settings. With Workspace ONE Launcher, workers are able to authenticate into or check out a device, and dynamically receive the specific apps and settings they need. When an employee finishes using the device at the end of the shift, he/she can simply log-out, or check in the device, reverting it back to a default state that is ready for the next user.
