summary for non-techies**
Later this year, Android devices used for work will receive updates including a streamlined web-based enrollment process and a transition to Google's Android Management API, with tools to aid the transition and automatic switching by 2026; users will need to re-authenticate for corporate Wi-Fi unless using certificate authentication, and some settings like work contacts and screen timeouts will be adjusted.
Direct effects for Operations**
Wi-Fi Access Disruption
Users will lose access to corporate Wi-Fi after migration if using username and password for Wi-Fi policies, requiring them to sign in again.
