Some Benefits of Employing a BYOT Policy:
- Greatly decrease startup costs and save on equipment purchases.
- Employees can handle device updates on their own time as needed.
- Employees will take more care and responsibility while managing their own devices, limiting your repair or replacement costs.
- Reduce monthly fees for data plans, etc. Some employers offer a stipend to employees for data plans, allowing them to pay a portion of the employees monthly bill, as opposed to paying the entire bill for a device.
- While a great IT team is able to keep networks up the majority of the time, downtime is inevitable. If your employees are equipped with their own devices and corresponding data plans, productivity will not be hindered as much while your network is down.
- Greater efficiencies can be established, as there is no learning curve for an employee working on a device they are already familiar with.
