BYOD Drives Innovation for CIOs and the Businessby increasing the number of mobile application users in the workforce |
This isn't a new idea in the workplace. "Bring Your Own Device" drives innovation for CIOs and the business by increasing the number of mobile application users in the workforce. Introduce the most advanced virtual desktop that can be accessed through an individual app, eliminating the security issues of using a personal device, and giving a user freedom to choose any device they want.
81% of companies are going to allow BYOD by the end of the year, with 50% requiring it for work purposes by 2017.
Increased productivity and innovation Employees are more comfortable with a personal device and become expert using it — making them more productive. Personal devices tend to be more cutting-edge, so the enterprise benefits from the latest features. |
Employee Satisfaction Your people use the devices they have chosen and invested in — rather than what was selected by IT. 83% of users considered their mobile device more important than their morning cup of coffee. |
Cost Savings BYOD programs sometimes save budget by shifting costs to the user, with employees paying for mobile devices and data services. However, this often results in little to no savings, so do not base your decision primarily on anticipated savings. |
Unavoidable: 81 percent of companies to allow BYOD by year's end
