Bring Your Own Device

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a trend whereby employee-owned devices are being used within a business. BYOD policies enable employees to use the same devices for personal and office use, allowing them to work remotely if need be. This is a trend that is growing rapidly due to the myriad of benefits it provides both the business and the employee. As of 2015, 82% of organizations are accepting the use of personal devices for work-related purposes. and the BYOD market is estimated to increase by 15% every year until 2022, from a starting value of $30 billion in 2014. The corporate world has three key approaches for allowing their employees to operate mobile devices internally, and externally, for work-related purposes.
