Deploy Apps Without Needing Android Market

Many businesses are developing custom-built apps for their employees to use, which are designed to increase staff productivity and ease their employees workload by having important company information at their fingertips. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to deploy apps to employees’ mobile devices without needing the Android Market and other app markets. This is causing a problem for companies that need to test their app on various Android devices before making it available to their employees.

Some custom apps may contain sensitive corporate data, and if that’s the case, the app definitely needs to stay secure. For example, an app that a company has developed, may store customer information and contract details. Also, a newly developed app that’s a private beta, may need to be tested first. This is where 3CX Mobile Device Manager comes in. Administrators can deploy apps directly to any number of devices simultaneously. By doing this, companies no longer need to upload an app to the Android Market and avoid their employees having to spend time to 1) locate the app, and 2) download it.

3CX Mobile Device Manager has the added benefit of being able to deploy apps to many mobile devices in one go. For instance, if you have 100 devices connected to the 3CX MDM online service, it may be a good idea to create groups, e.g. “testing”, “sales”, “maintenance”, etc. Rather than have each member of staff in a group install the app, you can send it to their devices simultaneously.
