StageNow v2.6 Release Notes
Introduction
StageNow is Zebra Technologies' next-generation Staging Solution for Zebra Android Mobile Devices. Staging is top of mind for our customers and partners as it is the initial process by which devices are taken out-of-the-box and prepared for production use. Staging Enterprise Mobile Devices can be done manually which is error prone and time consuming. Custom solutions are also used but are often not supported or forward compatible with newer devices. Zebra Technologies' Tier 1 MDM products can also be used to stage and manage Mobile Devices; however these powerful tools come with a price tag. StageNow is not only free of charge but also helps eliminate deployment barriers that add additional IT complexity, time, and costs.
