10:50 AM EDT, 05/09/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Jamf ( JAMF ) will begin offering mobile device management services for devices running Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Android operating system in July, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing an interview with Jamf ( JAMF ) Vice President of Portfolio Strategy Michael Covington.

The move is aimed at expanding the company's enterprise customer base by supporting organizations that use a mix of Apple (AAPL) and Android devices.

Although not originally intended as a diversification strategy, the shift comes at a time when Apple is facing challenges from escalating tariffs and slowing demand in China. These pressures have made it more important for Jamf ( JAMF ) to reduce reliance on a single platform, Bloomberg reported.

Covington said the company has consulted with Apple about the Android expansion and that Jamf ( JAMF ) will rely on a white-labeled partner for onboarding. However, the underlying security and management stack will be based on Jamf's ( JAMF ) own technology.

Jamf ( JAMF ), Apple, and Alphabet did not immediately respond to requests for a comment from MT Newswires.
