BYOD Policy

What is a BYOD policy?

Remember BYOB (bring your own beer)? BYOD stands for “bring your own device,” a framework or policy in which a company lets employees use their personal smartphones or laptops for work. This adds flexibility but also raises questions about mobile device management (MDM), security, and user provisioning.

And it worries some companies. 60% of a software company’s survey respondents report security being their top concern when it comes to BYOD. Whether you belong to this statistic or not, it’s still important to consider the risks.

Having a BYOD policy is how some companies tackle the difficult challenge of international IT logistics. However, using a tool like Dots means that IT procurement, whether it’s nationally or cross-border, becomes a whole lot easier. IT Asset Management Software with built-in IT procurement can offer you the ability to purchase and ship IT equipment to (in the case of Dots) 150+ countries and even retrieve it.

Therefore, companies can avoid having to resort to BYOD policies because getting IT equipment to and from remotely onboarded and offboarded employees worldwide is no longer a challenge.
