The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement is in full swing. A Cisco Survey revealed that 71 million BYOD devices are in use today in the United States, and that number is expected to grow to 108 million by 2016. These numbers are not surprising given the reduced costs a BYOD program can offer employers. Cisco has estimated that, if done correctly and comprehensively, U.S. companies can save as much as $3,150 per employee per year with a BYOD program.
In the face of these numbers, a company is putting itself at risk, not to mention an economic disadvantage, by moving forward without a clearly defined BYOD policy. Below are some key issues to consider as a starting point when crafting a BYOD policy.
