Today we are excited to announce the general availability of VMware Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub! Existing AirWatch Agent customers will see branding updates on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. New features will be available on iOS and Android.
What is Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub?
Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub brings together support for BYOD and corporate-owned devices into a single, streamlined app experience for the entire employee lifecycle, from onboarding to day-1 productivity, and beyond. Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub builds on the success of the Workspace ONE app and AirWatch Agent driving employee satisfaction.
The Intelligent Hub App Rollout
Workspace ONE UEM customers will see in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that AirWatch Agent has been replaced by the Intelligent Hub app. New users may download and install the Intelligent Hub app from these stores* on their devices, or you can simply inform your end users to go to GetWSONE.com which will redirect to the correct store for their device or download for macOS or Windows 10 desktop.
Your existing AirWatch Agent end users with auto-update enabled will begin seeing automatic updates on their device over the next week as the gradual rollout of Intelligent Hub takes place worldwide. The AirWatch Agent icon will have a new app name and icon.
The Intelligent Hub app update is non-disruptive, meaning:
- 100% support for existing AirWatch Agent functionality
- Existing UEM Console settings and configurations can remain unchanged
- AirWatch Agent end users will see no difference in functionality other than a new app icon and name
