Employers know that increased mobility leads to increased productivity. The majority of organizations expect their employees to be connected at all times via some sort of mobile device. To facilitate this, many companies have adopted a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy so that employees can use the same device for both business and personal purposes.
So you are thinking about implementing CYOD in your company work place. Make sure to make it clear to your employees what they are responsible for. Form a list of company approved devices and establish clear usage limits, so that overspending is managed.
In an effort to make BYOD policies safer and more manageable, so companies have made a small, but significant change. Instead of asking employees to bring their own device, the company lets them choose from a list of approved devices that will all work with the current network and IT infrastructure. So, BYOD becomes CYOD - choose your own device. The devices are all on the corporate plan, so security and support are no longer an issue. Costs are better managed because the company is able to pre-set usage limits. If the user goes over the limit, they are responsible for any overages.
Are you currently looking at your wireless approach and realizing that it is not the right fit? You may find your answer with CYOD. When looking at new polices please make sure to take note of these key points to help manage cost and usage:
Buy only what you need.
Do not be fooled into buying a plan that provides more than what you need. Make it a habit to constantly review your bill and usage so that you can cut back where necessary.
Do not pay for unused devices.
It is easy to forget to review your bill. Not just for usage, but to make sure that all the deices on that plan are in use. Forgetting to report a lost, destroyed, or previous employees device that is not longer in use is an area that can be cut.
Set usage limits.
Making sure that everyone understands the predetermined limits allow you peace of mind that you will not have a surprise on your bill and take away to need to put employees on the spot to be honest about usage.
Keep contracts short-term
The technology world is always growing and improving. To make the best of rates and the newest and fastest devices keep short-term contracts.
