BYOD...the real measure of ROI needs to consider productivity as a whole
A few of comments:
- VDI is not necessarily synonymous with Server VDI
- Data does not necessisarily need to reside on server
Why is their no mention of solutions like MokaFive?
BYOD will do little to lower real IT support costs to the organisation. Either IT will need to provide support or the users will spend their work time trying to provide their own support which will eat into their own productivity or a hybrid of the two. This will regardless come at a cost to productivity.
Perhaps the increase in output due to flexible working via BYOD will outweigh any loss in productivity from resources due to self help and the possible inefficiencies of the same.
what about the risk/issue of distraction on the BYOd device from personal email, messaging, or whatever else the user accesses on their device? What impact will that have on the real ROI from a BYOD initiative and how will that be managed?
