Smartphones, tablets, laptops.. With our increasingly mobile workforce, consumerisation in IT has led to staff demanding to use their own devices for work - or for distractions during work breaks!

The benefits for an IT department's budget at first seem tempting, promising dramatically to reduce hardware costs as employees provide their own platforms instead. But the ‘Bring Your Own Device’ phenomenon also brings its challenges in terms of support, management and security.
 
Organisations are being forced to address two key challenges: how to manage secure remote access to essential company resources; and how to control which devices employees are using to access company data.
Nevertheless, the movement is growing  - Citrix cites savings of up to 20%  and IBM claims 80,000 staff are now accessing its corporate network using self-owned devices.

Come to this event to explore the challenges and opportunities, and discuss how you and your organisation can achieve benefits and savings from BYOD.
