Industry Insights “BYOD is talked about a lot but I have not run into any company that has a full BYOD policy. Cost is an issue, but over time they will figure out how to reduce that premium. ..” Dave MacDonald, Softchoice Corporation – ITBusiness.ca, February 1st, 2013 “…54 per cent of Canadian companies (61 per cent globally) reported the majority of employees now use personal computing devices in the workplace. – ITBusiness.ca, February 1st, 2013 “IT [is] increasingly losing control of mobility budgets to other departments. In 2011, 53 percent of IT departments managed the mobile budget. This number dipped to 48 percent in 2012. – Mobile Iron, 2013 Mobile Enterprise Report "For CIOs, BYOD is both an opportunity to outsource cost to employees and also a call to action to implement security models and application architectures that are device-agnostic. Only in this way can you get out of the business of device provisioning and into the business of service provisioning, and that's where you can make a real difference in employee's satisfaction and productivity.“ – CIO.com, February 7th, 2013
