1. Android Enterprise Partner Program
The Android Enterprise Partner Program enables partners to build, sell, and support Android products including services and solutions for the enterprise market.
The Android Enterprise Partner Program simplifies your search for trusted partners and solutions that are best suited to your needs. Android Enterprise continually strives to provide the best solutions to meet customer’s business needs.
When you work with a validated partner, you are working with a partner that has met specific requirements across the program’s three pillars:
- Partner Expertise
- Product Excellence
- Performance
Google validates partners at Base or Advanced levels for each program pillar. Once the Base or Advanced requirements across all pillars are met, the partner earns a Silver or Gold badge, respectively. Working with a Silver or Gold partner means you are receiving top-tier customer service, support and products.
