    Expanding Horizons: Scalefusion Now Supports ChromeOS Device Management

    Scalefusion was built with the vision of being an all-encompassing device management platform that doesn’t restrict enterprises from choosing which devices and OSs to use. That’s why we’ve been extending our OS capabilities, and now, we are excited to introduce ChromeOS device management on Scalefusion.

    Introducing Scalefusion for ChromeOS

    With the addition of ChromeOS, Scalefusion continues its mission to empower IT admins with the flexibility to manage diverse device ecosystems without compromise. Whether it’s enforcing policies, securing endpoints, or monitoring device health in real-time, Scalefusion ChromeOS device management integrates seamlessly into our platform, offering robust management features available for other OSs.

    This expansion ensures that IT teams can efficiently manage ChromeOS devices alongside Android, Windows, iOS, iPadOS,  macOS, and Linux devices—removing the silos and complexity from enterprise mobility management.

    Why ChromeOS, Why Now?

    ChromeOS is rapidly emerging as a top choice for organizations seeking flexibility, speed, and affordability—without compromising on security. Whether it’s a school district deploying Chromebooks for students or an enterprise equipping remote teams with lightweight ChromeOS devices, this operating system is making its mark across industries.

    With Chrome Flex, you can give your old PCs and Macs a second life by upgrading them to ChromeOS. Leverage Chrome Flex to migrate your hardware to Chrome OS, extending its usability and value, and increasing the overall return on investments.

    With Scalefusion’s ChromeOS device management, managing these devices just got a whole lot easier, giving IT admins the tools they need to keep ChromeOS environments secure and efficient, no matter the scale. 

    Our approach has always been driven by listening to our customers and responding with solutions that make their work simpler. The rise of ChromeOS in enterprises and the education sector presented a clear opportunity, and we wanted to support this growing trend with ChromeOS device management, furthering our commitment to enabling productive and secure work environments across all platforms.

    What ChromeOS Device Management Enables:

    We understand the demands on your IT team, so we’ve designed our ChromeOS device management to be as intuitive and powerful as possible. From device provisioning to policy enforcement and application management, everything is easily accessible through a single, unified dashboard. If you’re already managing Android, Apple, Windows, or Linux devices with Scalefusion, integrating ChromeOS is seamless.

    With ChromeOS management on Scalefusion, you can:

    • Import Organizational Units and the users from Google Workspace into the Scalefusion dashboard.
    • Enroll ChromeOS devices in user mode or kiosk mode via manual or zero-touch mechanism. View the complete inventory information on the Scalefusion console. 
    • Granularly control the enrollment settings and secure the device access by configuring sign-in settings to ensure that a Chromebook can be used only after enrollment and the right set of users can sign in. We have ensured that Chromebooks can be accessed by all users by providing a wide range of accessibility options.
    • Deploy PWAs (progressive web applications) and configure them right from the console and configure URL Allowlist and blocklist policies.
    • Configure Chrome web store and extension policies, and deploy Chrome applications and extensions including remote configurations.
    • Configure Google Play Store settings and deploy Android applications along with the ability to remotely configure them.
    • Automate OS update deployments,  schedule phased rollouts in maintenance windows, and ensure minimal outages. Ensure that the devices are running a minimum version of ChromeOS to meet compliance requirements.
    • View comprehensive inventory information, user activity, and device usage information. 
    • Remotely powerwash devices to protect sensitive corporate data and de-provision them when no longer in use.
    • Manage settings at a user level, device level, and even guest mode settings
    • Configure almost every configuration policy available using our Custom Settings.
    • Manage Chromebooks and Chrome Flex devices from a single console
