Letting employees use their own laptops and mobile devices comes with plenty of benefits, including reduced capital costs and increased productivity. That’s why more and more employers who might once have resisted BYOD are now allowing it—some grudgingly, others with such enthusiasm that Gartner predicts many companies will make it mandatory.
On the other hand, BYOD also creates some significant challenges.

But the most pressing concerns involve IT—how to manage, secure, and support a growing multiplicity of devices, operating systems, and apps.
If you haven’t already set up a strategy for managing BYOD in your workplace, you’re already behind the trend—and you’re leaving critical issues to chance. In this guide, you’ll learn six best practices for creating a BYOD program that delivers real productivity and cost reduction benefits while minimizing risk exposure.
