RETIRED CONTENT
Please note that the content on this page is retired. This content is not maintained and may contain information or links that are out of date.Failing to have a BYOE action plan can result in:
- “Shadow IT” – employees using their own technology without IT’s involvement or awareness, which can put security and productivity in jeopardy.
- Being caught unprepared for new technology that finds its way into your organization.
- Missed opportunities to capitalize on all the personal technology already available in your organization.
Planning and preparing for BYOE can result in:
- Moving beyond BYOD. Employees are bringing their own applications, networks, cloud services, and identities with them to work, and IT needs to be involved.
- Flexibility to capitalize on the upsides of any personal technology in your organization, while avoiding the downsides.
- Keeping the IT department relevant in a world where information technology is everywhere.
