Galaxy Enterprise Edition: The Solution to Strong Device Management

The nature of work in modern society has evolved. Our roles are now driven by technological advancements, economic shifts and changing societal expectations, thereby requiring the everyday workforce to become more fluid and teams to become more agile and mobile. Employees have resorted to using their own personal devices to get the job done, possibly compromising their company’s IT security. Some companies implement a variation of policies such as the Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) policy. These policies allow employees to utilise their devices for personal use, as well as for work-related tasks.

This drives the increasing need for enterprise mobility solutions that are secure, scalable, and designed with the user in mind. IT teams are stuck managing a patchwork of devices, inconsistent security protocols, and unpredictable updates. So, how do you build a mobile-first strategy that is sustainable?

Consider the investment of the mobile-first strategy as a long-term investment. Investing in consumer devices alone may be cheaper upfront, but hidden costs pile up fast. In the long run, companies might face compatibility issues, security risks, limited updates and downtime that ultimately slows the team down.

Businesses should look to a unified approach for a sustainable mobile enterprise solution that offers IT teams with the right tools to sustain their business. These solutions, such as Galaxy Enterprise Edition, have to be cohesive, come with a good mix of Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, the right technical support and post sales service that ensures business continuity.

To ensure devices can effectively support enterprises, companies must consider these key factors when choosing the right enterprise mobility solution. 

Businesses need to build their strategies around long-term device usage and availability to avoid compatibility issues. As a business prepares for potential growth, it is crucial for it to lay a strong foundation.

However, when procuring devices, most companies tend to look at devices that meet their current needs—without anticipating future needs. This results in companies having an inconsistent mix of devices. This then poses a challenge for IT teams as they run into device management issues, increased security risks, and poor user experience.

This is where Galaxy Enterprise Edition can help address those challenges. Business-focused solutions should combine reliable compatible devices, like the Samsung Galaxy mobile devices, with powerful tools for device deployment, security, and management.

Galaxy Enterprise Edition is designed to overcome common IT challenges when setting up, such as easy device enrolment. Knox Mobile Enrolment allows IT teams to automatically secure devices into their system without having to touch the entire fleet of devices.

Technical teams may encounter additional issues when integrating a new system, such as delayed support, complex device rollouts, and fragmented management systems. With dedicated Samsung teams—based in support centres around the world—businesses get fast, specialised enterprise support and expert guidance. This helps IT teams resolve issues quickly and minimise downtime.

To further ease the burden on IT teams, Knox Manage offers an end-to-end MDM solution that addresses the challenge of managing large fleets of devices. With simplified deployment, centralised control and consistent policy enforcement, businesses can scale with confidence while maintaining security and operational efficiency.

Another critical part of scalability is sustenance. To manage a fleet of devices would require strategic planning to ensure business continuity. With a two-year product life cycle¹ included in the Galaxy Enterprise Edition, businesses are guaranteed device sales period to support device rollout. This ensures that businesses are able to plan upgrades of their devices depending on changes of their workforce.

Combined with a three-year warranty² or an extended warranty for enterprise devices, the longer lifespan means less replacements and downtime. That’s money saved and less hassle. IT teams will then be able to better plan future strategies when it comes to device procurement or replacement.

Organisations have to consider the scalability of the business and build a stronger foundation so that teams can stay focused on what matters most.

Businesses may opt to purchase off-the-shelf consumer devices without an enterprise mobility solution. While this seems like a quick fix to supporting the workforce, it may also lead to more issues in the future.

Security and data protection are the cornerstones of any effective enterprise mobility strategy. With teams increasingly accessing corporate data from anywhere in the world, it’s essential for IT teams to evaluate whether their current devices and infrastructure can both support employee productivity and maintain a secure, compliant network environment.

An effective enterprise mobility strategy starts with selecting devices that offer strong security at both the hardware and software levels. To ensure comprehensive protection, businesses should partner with technology providers that deliver end-to-end solutions — including secure devices, device-level protection, end-to-end encryption, biometric authentication, remote troubleshooting and real-time threat monitoring.

With Galaxy Enterprise Edition, companies get both enterprise-grade devices, as well as a complete security and management solution. As mobile devices evolve into the modern workplace, safeguarding them at every layer is essential. Every Galaxy device is protected by Samsung Knox — a defence-grade security platform that provides built-in protection from the moment the device is unboxed. Think of Samsung Knox as a highly secure vault: without the right credentials, there’s no way in. That’s the level of security Samsung Knox brings to every Galaxy device.

Galaxy Enterprise Edition also includes a one-year subscription to Knox Suite — Samsung’s all-in-one enterprise mobility management solution. This enables IT teams to easily deploy, manage and configure devices remotely through tools like Knox Manage and Knox E-FOTA. The result is not just multi-layered security from the chip up, but also complete control over enterprise devices — ensuring business continuity, compliance and peace of mind.

With up to seven years⁵ of security and firmware updates for supported Samsung Galaxy devices, companies are further empowered with devices that are built for long-term use. This means that companies can operate with fewer device disruptions and maintain software integrity without having to invest in additional or third-party cybersecurity solutions. In terms of budget, it means that the device life cycles can be better anticipated.

Apart from Samsung Knox, Galaxy devices also feature a work profile which teams can use to toggle between personal apps and work apps. With the work profile, personal and business data are stored separately. This adds another layer of protection, while giving teams the flexibility to use one device for both work and leisure.

In essence, Galaxy Enterprise Edition gives companies greater control over their devices. This level of control helps reduce manual workload, ensures consistency across devices and strengthens overall security posture, especially in fast-paced, mobile-first work environments.

When evaluating enterprise mobility solutions, businesses should also consider how much control they have over devices and how well these solutions integrate into existing systems. For organisations already operating in the Android ecosystem, Samsung enhances the experience with strong MDM capabilities through Knox Suite, specifically the Knox Suite Enterprise Plan.

This means more granular control over operating system updates, so businesses can test and schedule rollouts based on their own timelines—rather than being caught off guard by automatic changes. IT teams will also be able to respond to risks early and make informed decisions about how devices are to be used across the organisation, based on device usage analytics and proactive security alerts

For frontline teams, Knox Suite offers tailored features like hardware key remapping and built-in barcode scanning. These are small but powerful tools that can significantly boost productivity in industries like logistics, retail and healthcare.

For organisations already using Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) or Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) tools, Knox Suite can work alongside existing platforems. This adds extra layers of control and insight without requiring a full system change.

In addition, with a Samsung Account for Business companies can streamline procurement with volume pricing, flexible payments, trade-in savings, and dedicated support. In a landscape where usability and scalability are critical, Samsung provides a cohesive enterprise mobility solution, helping businesses empower their workforce while maintaining IT efficiency.

When done right, enterprise mobility can empower teams, safeguard business data, and streamline operations, all while giving businesses total control over its devices. By taking all these factors into consideration, companies can shape a successful enterprise mobility strategy that can be deployed for years to come.

The Galaxy Enterprise Edition has a proven blend of scalability, protection, and usability. With this, it provides companies with a strong foundation to operate securely and grow confidently.
