Are You Ready for BYOD?
Column: Bridging the Gap. The growing trend of employees bringing their own mobile devices into the workplace is referred to as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) or the consumerization of IT and is one that deserves your attention.
So what can you do to ensure you are prepared for BYOD? Start by doing your homework. Make sure you understand the pros and cons of BYOD and read as much as you can on the topic. Once you’ve educated yourself, make sure that you have a written mobile device policy that covers BYOD.
The policy should cover things such as the systems that can be accessed, whether/when a device can be remote wiped and how much employees will be reimbursed for the device and data plan. Finally, make sure you communicate and train employees on the policy. After all, it’s worthless if no one knows about it.
