“Working with MobileIron, our goal is to help businesses more easily and quickly create an integrated marketplace where their authorized customers and partners can access apps and streamline billing, application entitlement and authentication, plus use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for backend compute and storage services,” said Marcin Kurc, Head of Commerce Platform, Google Cloud, in a blog post.

This will benefit all parties, from developers, to enterprises, to resellers, with the flexible secure management platform set to support a range of operating systems and devices.

“We hope this collaboration simplifies and streamlines enterprise application management for businesses, and helps them unlock additional value for their employees and customers,” Kurc concludes.
