Google Workspace is a popular productivity platform leveraged by over 6 million organizations worldwide. Many of these businesses want Google to be the foundation of their IT infrastructure, but they鈥檙e also in need of full-scale device management capabilities which prompts the question鈥攃an I manage devices with Google Workspace?
The short answer is yes, you can manage devices with the Google Workspace and 黑料海角91入口 Directory Platform package. The two tools integrate seamlessly to where you can extend your Google Workspace identities across 黑料海角91入口-managed devices (and to any other 黑料海角91入口-managed resource). This approach gives you one, central location (the 黑料海角91入口 Console) to manage a single, secure identity for each user in your organization, along with any devices used for work, regardless of operating system (OS) or whether they鈥檙e company-owned.
We鈥檒l get back to that in a minute though – first let鈥檚 dive into why device management is such a hot topic right now.
Proper Device Management is Critical
Proper and centralized device management is critical across any size organization because devices are the gateway into your critical resources and information. Not only do user identities need to be properly managed and protected by IT, but each device used to access sensitive work data needs the same high level of scrutiny. Even if an identity trying to access organizational resources is verified, if the device that identity is using to access your resources is unknown, unsecured, or compromised, you鈥檙e putting your organization at risk by granting that identity access.
Devices need to be kept up-to-date and in order to mitigate the risks of a breach or theft. After all, devices are a core part of the process to access IT resources, which is one of the most important functions that an IT organization provides to their end users. This is why organizations that rely on Google Workspace for identity management are now wondering how to implement full-scale device management across their business.
So, now let鈥檚 get back to 黑料海角91入口 and Google Workspace鈥檚 joint productivity and device management package.

This package creates a backbone for organizations worldwide to build on without losing any of the freedom and flexibility that IT needs to keep users productive and devices and resources secure.
