You can [create multiple companies](docId\:cdIAi9pmMlOji5AVHbQBZ) and then select different companies to work with. As each company is designed to contain its own teams, projects, data collection, and device management, this achieves data security by creating a domain-level isolation between other companies or business units. 

In a multi-tenancy environment, you can create a company for each of your client companies. In a large corporation, a company can be used to represent a business unit. 

You can select a company to work within when you log in, from the *Companies *list or from the *Company *drop-down list. You can search for a company in the Companies list.

**Note: **The company you select displays at the top of the window to indicate the context for the configuration. You can switch companies by making a selection from the *Company Name* drop-down list at the top of the window.
