| | August 20176CIOReviewThe concept of Bring Your own Device (BYOD) has brought in a shift towards consumerization in the workplace by blending business/personal technology with a `whatever works best to get the job done' mindset.The exponentially growing mobile workforce today is a clear indicator of how enterprises worldwide have embraced the concept of BYOD. Along with the steady growth in the number of BYOD devices, users of these devices expect the performance of mobile applications to keep pace with their wired counterparts. They want to use any device to access any application, anywhere, without a delay in experience. This has put CIOs under pressure to strike a balance between employees' productivity and engagement without compromising on security and privacy. Robust mobile device management solutions help achieve this by managing and securing all devices in the BYOD spectrum with integrated policies across apps, devices and locations--all based on user identity.Further, technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) start to make inroads into the BYOD realm, creating additional opportunities for the concept to evolve. Thanks to wearables, sensors, environmental monitors and a bunch of other elements that carry robust technical capabilities to perform communication and data transfer. Organizations are now faced with more complex choices regarding what outside devices--if any--to be integrated into their environments, and how to get business value out of them, with security as the primary concern.What enterprises need is a successful solution that strikes a balance between safeguarding security and offering convenience to employees. On that note, we present you this annual edition on BYOD technologies, featuring the leading vendors in the BYOD space. We believe this edition will help you in evaluating and formalizing BYOD strategies for your organization.Copyright © 2017 ValleyMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.
