WALLDORF, Germany, Feb. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced it is working with Google to support Android™ for Work, enabling employees to securely bring their own Android devices to the workplace and conveniently switch between work and personal activities without relinquishing control of personal data. At the same time, integration with the SAP® Mobile Secure portfolio helps IT managers and developers manage and secure devices, apps and content across the diverse Android landscape while also supporting the development of applications and standard apps.

They can also take advantage of the innovations in application development and distribution designed specifically for Android for Work. The leading SAP apps will be ready for installation within Android for Work."

SAP will continue to work to support customers who want to use the Android operating system with the latest versions of SAP HANA® Cloud Platform and its platform-as-a-service offerings including SAP HANA Cloud Platform mobile services, SAP Mobile Platform, SAP Mobile Secure, and several hundred Android-based mobile apps from SAP.
