An Interactive Guide: Bring Your Own Device
Source: Good Technology
As more and more enterprises begin to see significant benefits from letting employees choose the device they use to get their jobs done, the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend is spreading. According to the Computerworld Consumerization of IT Study published in October of 2011, about half of the 604 respondents said their organizations allow employees to do work using their own devices either away from the office or at work. Whether these devices are smart phones, tablets, or laptops that are used in the office or while working remotely, companies that embrace this trend are finding their employees are more productive and experience greater job satisfaction. What's more, enterprises can significantly reduce costs and allow for flexible work hours by letting employees use their device of choice anytime, from anywhere.
Yet BYOD presents significant security and management challenges to IT departments who want to take advantage of the trend, but still protect corporate assets. They struggle with granting users the access they need to perform their jobs, managing a wide variety of different device types, and maintaining the security of the corporate network and applications. In this eGuide, Computerworld along with sister publications CIO, CSO, Network World, and Infoworld examine the BYOD trend, the challenges IT departments face, and some recommendations for overcoming them.
