What is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)?
BYOD is the newest trend in the workplace, allowing employees to use their consumer devices in the workplace. There are both benefits and concerns that arise from a BYOD solution, but as consumer technology continues to outperform business technology, the amount of BYOD solutions that are going to be implemented is going to keep rising.
The key idea behind the BYOD movement is that employees are much more familiar with the devices that they use daily - their own. The familiarity of that device can lead to an increase in productivity for the user, as well as reduce the capital costs for an organization. It also allows for a worker to separate their personal data from their corporate data, which has been shown to benefit workers greatly.
While there are major security concerns, such as data loss and malicious attacks, these can be mitigated by implementing a BYOD solution.

How can BYOD management benefit my organization?
Bring-Your-Own-Device (when a user brings a personal device to use as a work device, such as a smartphone or laptop) is quickly becoming the norm with our increasingly mobile workforce. The benefits are abundant, including cost saving and increases in productivity and efficiency, while gaining increased data security!
The 'consumerization of IT infrastructure' encourages those with the latest and greatest in consumer technology to expect the same level of functionality in the workplace as well, and if they don't, then they will end up using their personal devices instead. While this can be beneficial, it can also create major security issues. Things such as malicious applications, which may copy or steal data from a device, or even the theft or loss of a device can lead to security concerns and loss of corporate data.
BYOD also reduces the cost of device replacement, repair, data and more! Studies show that employees are much more careful and willing to maintain for their personal devices versus a company-owned device. This can drastically reduce the costs of device repairs and replacements over time.

Simple BYOD Management
Scalefusion's BYOD Solution
Scalefusion's newest feature offers you the ability to manage employee-owned / personal devices with a more secure and convenient solution! With BYOD, employees can still use their personal devices, and employers get the piece of mind knowing that their data is secure still. Get important emails, content and company exclusive applications and data directly to your personal device!
Android allows you to create a Work Profile, which contains all of your corporate data and applications in an OS-level container which makes it seem like you have 2 devices in one! This enables clear separation between your personal and corporate data, and offers enhanced security over traditional BYOD methods. Users of work profiles are clearly able to differentiate between personal notifications and notifications related to their work!
Additionally, there is a customizable dashboard available to your BYOD users! You can decide how it looks, what applications appear, and much more!
