During the pandemic, many companies adopted Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies to adapt to the sudden shift to remote work. With little time to prepare, organizations faced shortages in company-owned devices and lacked systems to manage IT asset inventory efficiently for a dispersed workforce. BYOD became a quick and cost-effective solution, enabling employees to work remotely using their personal laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
While BYOD provided a temporary fix, it also highlighted significant challenges:
Security Risks: Personal devices often lack the robust security protocols of corporate-managed hardware, increasing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Data Management: BYOD policies made it harder to control and track company data stored on personal devices, especially when employees left the organization.
IT Support Strain: Supporting a wide range of devices and operating systems stretched IT teams thin, creating inefficiencies and increasing workloads.
Should your company find these challenges too great, consider the change to company-owned devices. By implementing an efficient IT retrieval system, your company can make the management of IT assets efficient and secure.
