employees and employers, while 53% of business decision makers acknowledged
the fact that it leads to more productive employees.

• Millennials coming out of college have better devices than corporate America.
• CapEx vs. OpEx

Purchasing the hardware for your employees to work, as well as the power to
run it all, is expensive. With BYOD, employees provide and update their own
devices at their leisure.
We offer enterprise-grade encryption for your data so your information is safe at
