If they allowed encryption between iPhone users and Android users it 
would eliminate a key advantage of an organization being 100% iPhone. My 
wife's company is 100% iPhone, for multiple reasons (they could actually 
use Android since they use Cortext for secure messaging since it's HIPAA 
compliant, while iMessage is not HIPAA compliant) mainly for the remote 
management (MDM) capability, and the inability for employees to install 
any apps. So she carries two phones, her personal Android and her 
corporate iPhone.
