This IDC study, drawing on CIO responses from several IDC surveys and analysts' direct discussions with CIOs and other providers of key solutions, details the trends in corporate support for mobile devices. The document looks at the trend toward Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies. We present BYOD best practices and examine the challenges that CIOs face in the support, costs, management, and security of employee-liable devices.
"Finding the balance between control, access, and cost will be an ongoing challenge, requiring negotiations between finance, risk management, and customer-facing organizations for employee-liable mobile devices. Formalized mobile governance functions will help CIOs find a better balance," says Dave McNally, IT executive advisor with IDC.
