B3 Leverages Android Enterprise to Enhance Security and Efficiency for 1,000 Employees

The Brazilian stock exchange B3 implemented Android Enterprise to deploy a secure, compliant mobile solution for 1,000 employees within two weeks, according to a company statement. This move aimed to improve security through AI threat detection and reduce costs, with projected savings of 30% over the next decade.

Streamlined Deployment with Android Enterprise

B3 reduced device rollout timelines by adopting Android Enterprise’s zero-touch enrollment, allowing IT teams to manage devices through a centralized dashboard. This eliminated the need for in-person coordination, enabling most employees—including those using bring-your-own-devices (BYOD)—to be equipped in under two weeks, as reported by B3.

“Previously, device rollouts required significant coordination and in-person support, which extended deployment timelines,” said B3. “With Android Enterprise, we achieved fast, secure, self-serve deployment.”

Enhanced Security Measures

The financial institution prioritized security by selecting Android Enterprise for its multi-layered protections, including hardware cryptography, app sandboxing, and AI-driven threat detection. Managed Google Play further ensured controlled app distribution, aligning with B3’s strict regulatory requirements.

“Android and Samsung offer a budget-friendly price point without compromising performance,” B3 stated, noting the solution’s consistency across roles, from frontline staff to executives.

Improved Employee Productivity and Connectivity

B3 transitioned to Android devices with 7-inch screens, longer battery life, and better refresh rates to address previous challenges with small displays and limited connectivity. Employees reported positive feedback, citing improved support for internal and third-party web applications.

“Our operations teams need to be available 24/7, and battery duration used to be a major pain point,” B3 noted. “The new devices comfortably support a wide range of business applications.”

Integration of AI for Operational Efficiency

B3 is expanding its use of AI, adopting an “agentic” approach to boost productivity. Employees utilize built-in Google Gemini features for tasks like content creation and task optimization, enhancing agility. The company also highlighted cost savings from reduced hardware refresh cycles, with 30% projected savings over 10 years.

“This shift is financially beneficial,” B3 said. “It enables more frequent hardware refreshes, keeping employees equipped with brand-new devices.”

Future-Ready Infrastructure

B3, a tech-focused organization, continues to explore innovations such as AI agents and low-latency data centers. The partnership with Google and Samsung ensures compliance and access to cutting-edge tools, supporting its operational goals.

“With Android devices and the support from Google and Samsung, we can maintain compliance and provide secure, advanced tools for our workforce,” B3 concluded.
