Hey ​@Alexandru Ciobanu 

Welcome to the community!

This a great, and layered, question, so I want to make sure I point you in the right direction.

If you could let me know the following that’d be super helpful!

1) Are you an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) building the hardware?

If you’re manufacturing devices and want to ship them with Android pre-installed you’d likely want to check out the Solutions Directory

2) You want to deploy Android Enterprise on existing devices?

If you've got existing devices and want to deploy Android Enterprise for business use, that's definitely our territory! You'll want to look at Android Enterprise management options. The approach depends on how you want to use the devices but typically involves:

  • Setting up an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution
  • Enrolling devices through zero-touch or manual enrollment
  • Configuring policies and apps through your EMM

We have a helpful guide that covers the different management options: Introducing the different Android device management options

I appreciate that’s quite the info dump, so if you let me know if you’re more a #1 or #2 we’ll go from there!
