BYOD Movement Requires Management, Not Resistance: 10 Reasons Why

The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend is now an irresistible force that has actually made an impact on the vast majority of companies in one fashion or another. Most enterprises have recognized that they have to find ways to manage the movement because there is no way to stop it. In some cases, BYOD policies allow for employees to use whatever products they want and use any applications they prefer. In other implementations, the IT side strictly controls BYOD with certain parameters on which products can and cannot be brought into the office. In either case, BYOD is here, and it's here to stay. It's time for companies to look at how they can work effectively with the movement. Although there are inherent security concerns with BYOD and the chances of actually having employees adhere to policies at all times are slim, companies have no choice but to try. The sooner the companies get in on the BYOD movement, the better. There's simply no time to waste fighting it. This slide show analyzes what companies need to do to get in on the BYOD movement so that it can actually deliver benefits.
