BYOT - The Growing Trend in Small Businesses Startups

As the digital era flourishes, starting your own Business becomes easier every day. Technology and entrepreneurship synergize to bring us new opportunities. As we leverage the benefits of technology, we create new efficiencies and maximize our productivity. What if we can take this a step further? Small business owners, take note, ‘Bring Your Own Technology’ is now an emerging trend that is allowing entrepreneurs to minimize their startup and maintenance costs. Byot is a corporate policy that allows employees to bring their own devices to work for business purposes. While every major business decision has its upsides and downsides, further examination positions the policy of BYOT as a promising approach.

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.
