hey guys I'm Daniel Park from zebra
technologies today I'd like to introduce
another great productivity tool from
zebras mobility DNA software suite
it's called stage now stage now is a
tool that can really simplify the
staging process and should be considered
an essential part of any enterprise
deployment strategy the good thing is
stage now is completely free and is only
available on zebra Android devices
staging can be a real headache and it
makes sense to streamline the process as
much as you possibly can as a general
rule any manual process should be
eliminated wherever possible especially
if you are staging hundreds or even
thousands of devices stage now addresses
this by automating the entire staging
process let's start with a brand new
device and of the Box if the device is
running GM s Google mobile services such
as this device then step one of staging
would be to manually tap through all the
Google welcome screens which is over ten
screen taps per device
well zebra can even help with this on
marshmallow devices running BSP 21 point
zero four or newer we can skip past all
of these screens and jump straight to
the stage nail client which by the way
comes pre-installed on zebra Android
devices this is achieved by simply
scanning a special barcode the stage
devices using stage now we provide a
free PC console tool called stage nail
console using this console you can
create a profile that will define the
device configuration let's walk through
the entire process okay so we have a
brand new device with the GMs Google
welcome screens available on the screen
I'll just scan the barcode ok we've
jumped straight to the stage now client
so we are now ready to receive the
staging configuration if we look at the
stage nail console I've completed the
profile previously it's called download
install and launch scan demo we have a
look at what's in this console profile
you can see there's three steps one is
download an apk two is install the same
apk and three is launch that apk or
application okay once I hit complete
profile I have three options for staging
the device barcode audio or NFC for now
let's try barcode scanning so choose the
barcode I require hit test to test how
it's going to work that will open up a
PDF file with the barcode available all
I need to do is scan that barcode and
you can see staging has begun now it
will take a few minutes to stage the
whole device keep in mind you can also
push out full OS updates setting
configurations push down and EMM client
and much much more
so it's a very powerful tool and by the
way you can stage many many devices at
the same time ok so let's see how audio
staging works on the console we have an
audio tab to choose audio staging I will
just hit play audio
