Is your organisation struggling to find the right balance between BYOD and Corporate Mobile? Corporate IT leaders are often challenged on why they still need to provide smartphones to users, when ‘surely employees all have their own personal device already?’ In practice, whilst BYOD seems like the obvious choice, there are many challenges to overcome to deploy a BYOD strategy successfully. Simply accepting that employees can use their own devices in a relatively unrestricted manner or even turning a blind eye to how users access corporate data and apps is not the same as deploying a secure and well thought through BYOD strategy. A BYOD and Mobile strategy needs to address user privacy concerns on device controls, access to their data & use of their mobile number for business. It needs to protect business data and mitigate against the potential damage to your business reputation from data loss and cyber threats. It needs to transparently address the real costs of both corporate mobile and BYOD (including hidden expenses) and importantly it needs to be sustainable and easy for your IT team to manage. Whilst BYOD is a viable option for many businesses and users, there are equally a wide number of use cases and scenarios where corporate devices and SIMS make a lot more sense. In short, there’s no “one size fits all” model that works. At Utelize we specialise in helping corporate IT teams across a wide range of industries and sectors to develop and implement effective mobile strategies and to manage mobile administration and user support. Enabling them to find the right balance between BYOD and Corporate provided devices and services, in a secure, pragmatic & cost-effective way, whilst also helping them to take advantage of new ways of working and new technologies like 5G, M2M & IoT.
