Are the Days of BYOD Over? Exploring the Value of Employer Provided Phones in the Next Mobile EconomyBYOD cost savings are not as great as expected in the long term, reveals a new study conducted with senior executives across the United States. Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics America commissioned the study with Oxford Economics, an independent third party research firm, to better understand the economic realities of enterprise mobility, and to help guide its customers in this area. "When smartphones first began to show their potential as business tools, we saw a wave of organizations jump on board with BYOD policies, encouraged by the promise of cost savings and employee satisfaction," said Eric McCarty (News - Alert), Vice President, Mobile B2B Product Marketing, Samsung Electronics America. "Now, with some time and understanding of the total long-term costs and complexities of the BYOD model, we are seeing the pendulum swing the other way. Not only are many organizations looking again at providing employees with work smartphones, those that do invest proactively are realizing tremendous value from greater device management, customization and enterprise applications." Among the key findings:
"If mobility is a strategic goal, then it makes sense to look beyond one-time cost considerations to longer-term investments and value," says Adrianna Gregory, Assistant Managing Editor at Oxford Economics. "The truth is that if mobile devices are required for many jobs, executives should adjust to this new reality."
