If your company has apps available, you are given the option to download them, as soon as you've finished adding the company account to your phone. If an app isn't available until after you've already set up your account, your company can let you know how to get it.

Installing a hub works the same way as installing a company app – if one's available, you have the option to add it once you've added your company account. If your company develops a hub later, you are offered another way to get it set up when ready. Most company accounts include a policy.
