We Should Implement a BYOD Infrastructure

Although 55% of the federal employees who use smartphones or tablets for work bring their own, just 11% of them say their agency has an official BYOD policy at all.

With hosted VDI, no data ever leaves the data center. Through the use of security policies, administrators of client-hosted VDI can have virtual machines expire after a specified time, helping to prevent data leakage.

Virginia Bank VP of IT, Sharon Moynihan credits the cloud component of the bank’s BYOD model for delivering the cost savings…. Virginia Commerce Bank stands to save roughly $1,500 per [BYOD] device.

Reduce Capital ExpendituresOptimize Technical Costs

The State of Delaware has begun “a two year transition plan to migrate all users off of the existing infrastructure by June 30, 2013 and move them to either a personal device through a proposed reimbursement program”

“By doing so, the state stands to save up to $2.5 million dollars annually through the reimbursement program but also would save $75K in lifecycle costs and $120K in ongoing support. “

“One of the strong drivers of BYOD activity is that people want to use a single device for both work and personal purposes”

In 2011 Mobile Workers carried on average 2.7 devices (spanning tablets, laptops, smartphones, netbooks, etc.). In 2012 that jumped to 3.5 devices. For the Q1 2013 report that dropped to 3 devices (2.95). This recent drop is directly attributed to BYOD.

Optimize Electronic DevicesIncrease Employee Productivity

“According to a 2010 IDC-Unisys report, consumer-powered IT is being touted as the principal driver behind the fourth wave of corporate productivity. The first wave was inspired by Henry Ford's invention of the assembly line (between 1908 and 1915). The Japanese collaborative model, Kaizen, was the second wave. The third was driven by the Chinese model of mass production, low prices and global domination.”

“Today, the fourth wave is driven by a network of constantly connected workers. A network connected by mobiles, laptops, smartphones and the like.”

Elevate Workforce CompositionFoster Technical Innovation

“It is especially true for Millennials and teleworkers.”

“Increased flexibility is attractive.”

“It shows your office is forward thinking, savvy, and efficient.”

“In an organization where the average age of employees ranges between 28 to 30 years…. Prabhu realized that this squad of power users was far ahead of their peers when it came to adopting whiz-bang technology.

“[BYOD] would allow the IT team to focus on strategic innovation instead of fixing IT issues. Keeping the IT team enthused is an imperative at a time when attrition is rampant and work pressure is mounting.”

“[BYOD] would free my IT resources from managing non-strategic assets and help me focus on high business value initiatives.”

Leverage Technical AdvancesFoster Technical Innovation

“Groups like Gartner  … claim that BYOD will rise to become a major technology trend in 2013, largely based on the huge amount of iPads streaming into employees’ hands. These tablets in the workplace are expected to reach 250 million by 2016, according to findings by Forrester Research.”
