Overview:
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept that permit employees to make use of their personal mobile devices including smartphones, tablets, and laptops for corporate work-related purpose. With the propagation of mobile computing and increased focus towards digitization, enterprises which previously made limited use of applications for business operations are now driving application development for mobile platforms. The proliferation of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones is an obvious driver of the BYOD concept, but the growing desire among employees towards the use a single device for both personal and work related activities is equally crucial. Using a single device for both personal and work related activities allows user/employees to avoid the inconvenience caused by carrying two separate devices. In addition, since employees are more familiar with their personal mobile devices, it becomes easy for them to perform work-related tasks more efficiently. This, in turn has positive impact on the employee productivity at work.
Apart from offering employees access to real time information, the BYOD and enterprise mobility concept also allow enterprises to reduce the IT expenditure. Employees use their personal devices for work-related activities, which eliminates the hardware or device costs. The concept embraces huge potential to shape businesses by promoting innovative methods of interacting with business partners and customers across the globe. The concept of BYOD and enterprise mobility is quite prevalent in developed economies like the U.S., where several companies offer employees an option to work from home. With the proliferation of mobile devices and prevailing trend of working outside work-hours, especially in India and China is expected to trigger the adoption of BYOD and enterprise mobility concept in Asia Pacific.
