Here are the latest SaaS updates this week. Atlassian launched a new product called Jira Ops to serve as an incident command center for response teams. Google is making it easier to set up Android devices as company-owned, and they’re also launching an alert center for G Suite (in beta) to provide a unified view of essential notifications for admins. (Hmm, that sounds familiar…)

Dropbox is introducing preview support for three new tools for Paper, and Trello announced new admin permissions for Enterprise customers.

Making It Easier to Set Up Android Devices as Company-Owned
