The average worker saves 81 minutes per week in productivity by using a personal device at work and 75% of companies now allow employees to use personal devices for work. It’s no surprise that the morale and productivity benefits outweigh the typical security and network overload challenges that companies face by adopting BYOD policies.
Let’s talk practicality, though. Out of the 75% of businesses that support BYOD initiatives, how many have effectively introduced the trend to their traditional IT environments? A whopping 80 percent of all BYOD is still completely unmanaged.
With a comprehensive, reactive BYOD program, your gains could jump to $1,300 per mobile user per year. That’s a lot of dough to be throwing out the window just because you don’t have a BYOD plan for your BYOD enabled workforce.
Think about something simple like printing. Now that you’ve got a happier, more productive team because your company is on board with BYOD, you need to figure out to enable them to do office work from their mobile devices.
Not exactly. If there isn’t a clear BYOD path for them to follow at their company, which is highly likely (remember, 80 percent of all BYOD is still completely unmanaged.), this user might not be able to do simple office tasks on-the-go, such as printing.
Let’s say this Galaxy user is an outside sales rep that spends most of the time at client meetings but needs access to secure company files on-the-go. Enter the need for quick, secure, remote printing. Not asking for the world, right?!
In order to accomplish this, your IT team will have to empower this user with an Android-enabled printing solution, such as Google Cloud Print Management. But remember, this user needs to print securely encrypted documents remotely for their potential new client.
As we know already, scenarios like this are costly to 8/10 BYOD companies. Your boss wants to enter into the 20%. So, you need to find a secure mobile printing solution to show your boss you can leave that 80% in the dust!
Simplify Printing TX allows you to securely print from any device, in any location, to any printer. Remember that needy Android sales guy? He has a whole team of sales guys that also want to print from their iPads and iPhones.
