As the business world evolves and it becomes more difficult to distinguish your company from the rest, employers looking for a competitive advantage would like to give employees more flexibility in their workday. Daily life can be filled with activities requiring that the kids need to be picked up from school, shirts need to be dropped off at the cleaners, and a package needs to be mailed. Because of this, employers are beginning to adopt “bring your own device” policies which enable connectivity between the workplace and the employee. Now, a certain problem has become more prevalent, and that is the problem of the employer being able to manage the settings of the employee's device, so as to allow some amount of control over it and it's data. Inevitably, employees depart and the data that was used by the now former employee (which is owned by the now former employer) will still exist on the device. What is an employer to do? The answer is to employ a technique named device management.
In device management, employers are able to manage an employee’s device discreetly. BYOD policies can decrease cost of infrastructure (tablets, phones, laptops), and yet allow an employee's work schedule to be flexible. They can even choose to make commuting from home a regular occurence.
