Why B3 chose Android for secure AI-enabled productivity
Enterprise case study, not builder tooling: Brazil's B3 exchange rolled Android devices with built-in Gemini to about 1,000 employees in under two weeks, projecting 30% cost savings over a decade.
**The gist** B3, the Brazilian stock exchange, moved roughly **1,000 employees** onto Samsung Android devices in **under two weeks** using **zero-touch enrollment**, projecting **30% cost savings** over the next decade, with managed Google Play handling app distribution and hardware cryptography plus app sandboxing for compliance.
**Why it matters** For builders this is mostly a market signal: a regulated financial exchange citing **built-in Gemini** on managed devices and describing a shift from experimental to **agentic** use shows enterprise IT buying AI as a fleet feature, not a pilot — relevant if you sell into or build for managed-device environments.
