A BYOD policy can save money, and make staff and customers happier.
BYOD means "Bring your own Device" and adopting this as a business policy, will increase productivity and lower capital expense.
Survey's suggest over 80% of employees already use their own device for work, and the reasons are multiple, and the value is great for both the business and the employee.
- Reduces Technology and Hardware Cost: BYOD programs save companies money on buying devices up front, and constantly upgrading hardware. Even subsidizing employees cell and data plans costs much less than buying devices paid in full with a company-wide mobile initiative. Consider that most millennial employees already invest in the latest and greatest devices.
- Improves User Enhancement: The Millennial generation is booming, making today’s workforce tech-savvy. With BYOD, employees use devices they already understand, requiring less training. Field workers will know how to take full advantage of device features, which boosts worker productivity and maximizes business revenue.
- Retains Happy Employees: Studies show employees enjoy using their personal devices over IT department issued devices, despite being responsible for cost and cell coverage.
- Faster Customer Service Response: Fast turnaround time means happy customers and more revenue. Expanding your device capability means faster response times, and allows you to react faster to revenue opportunities.
