Google looks to unite work and pleasure by acquiring Divide

From InfoWorld: Google could gain a stronger position in businesses by acquiring Divide, an enterprise software company focused on the bring-your-own-device to work model.

Divide said Monday that it was being acquired by Google, and that its members would be joining Google's Android team.

Terms were not disclosed. Google declined to provide further comment.

Divide, formerly known as Enterproid, has attracted Google's interest for some time. Last October the company announced $12 million in series B funding led by Google Ventures.

Divide's app on iOS and Android is built around the company's BYOD (bring your own device) mobile platform. The company's service is designed to let workers consolidate professional apps and personal apps onto the device they already have, providing encryption along the way for the business apps and data.
