It outlines potential pros, including increased productivity, fostered innovation, and cost savings. It also addresses potential cons like security threats and increased costs. The document concludes that an organization should implement a BYOD infrastructure to tighten security controls, optimize costs, increase employee productivity, foster innovation, and implement a pioneering strategy. Key enablers of a BYOD infrastructure include mobile device management systems, virtual desktop infrastructure, and dual-persona devices.

smartphones or tablets for work bring their own, just
11% of them say their agency has an official BYOD
policy at all.

Prevent Rogue Devices
Tighten Security Controls

6. 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.

7. 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 Expenditures
Optimize Technical Costs

8. 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. “

Reallocate Technical Resources
Optimize Technical Costs

9. “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 Devices
Increase Employee Productivity

10. “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.”

Facilitate Unrestricted Mobility
Increase Employee Productivity

11. Elevate Workforce Composition
Foster Technical Innovation
“It is especially true for Millennials
and teleworkers.”
“Increased flexibility is attractive.”
“It shows your office is forward
thinking, savvy, and efficient.”

12. “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 Advances
Foster Technical Innovation

13. “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.”
