Apart from government organization, I believe most everyone is changing to Android or iOS in the work place. More flexibility but comes big challenge for IT folks trying to make sure the phone are secure and data is safe...
ReplyDeleteTrue. IT challenges are there, however at the same time companies can also save some money out there by shifting the liability from company issued phone to Individual liable for the phone and data plan. As is most individuals own a iPhone or Android with data plans so all company needs to do is push security policies and enable remote wipe to access company email on personal device. At least I am glad I don't have to carry two phones when one can multi task ;)
