BYOD: Bring Your Own Device

It’s been a year since bring your own computer was introduced. This is where companies offer staff the chance to choose the devices they use for work; this could be a laptop, desktop, Mac or a tablet. The company might cover either all or part of the expense. However, whilst BYOC has become popular it has been recently changed to BYOD, bring your own device. In the last year the number of people who own smartphone and tablet drastically increased, and IT organisations have been put under pressure to let their employees choose what device they want to use to do their work. Because of this we've seen a significant divide between IT and the rest of the organisation.

This seems like a very beneficial idea because it will encourage employees to work and they will also be more comfortable and motivated within the ethos that is created.
