BYOD: The Illusion of Cost-Savings

By Stanley P. Jaskiewicz
November 29, 2012

Corporate controllers and information technology budget managers across America have embraced the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement. (See, “Bring Your Own Device Movement By the Numbers,” ZDNet.com, http://zd.net/UTdEzm; “Building the Business Case for a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program,” Forrester Research (http://bit.ly/XBJU11); and “The BYOD Opportunity,” a whitepaper from VMware (http://bit.ly/SaMtTa).)

The prestigious research outfit Gartner Group even characterizes a BYOD world as “the new normal,” finding that 90% of organizations support one form or another of use of personal devices for work matters (see, “Ten Steps to Secure BYOD,” from technology consultants Carolina Advanced Digital (http://bit.ly/Y37yTa)).
