The BYOD concept is that employees can actually work on their own portable devices. That said, the number of people who incorporate their personal devices into their professional lives has steadily increased since the advent of smartphones, laptops and tablets. Such as: what if your employee’s device breaks? To immunize against this, specialized mobile device management (MDM) software can be deployed to selectively restrict in-app purchases. The relationship between IT departments and BYOD is also subject to change as more employees use their own devices at work.
