How to deploy OEM configurations to Kyocera devices?
Most organizations employ OEMConfig as a business standard to enhance corporate compliance of the devices provisioned in the workspaces. OEMConfig is an administrative tool used to deploy OEM-specific settings to devices enrolled in the Android enterprise program. Device manufacturers that support OEMConfig develop their OEMConfig app to deploy managed configurations to their devices. Kyocera’s OEMConfig application – Device Config Plugin helps you configure advanced functionalities for Kyocera devices. It allows you to exert granular control over the hardware and software features of Kyocera devices. With the help of App Configurations, Hexnode facilitates you to create OEM-specific policies for such devices quickly.
