BYOD Rise!
BYOD rise adoption has been growing rapidly since it first emerged in 2009, which is no surprise since businesses today rely a lot on mobility by allowing their employees to use personal devices to stay connected to the corporate network. A report by Forrester Research revealed that 60% of employees use personal devices at work, and in businesses, 75% of the devices connected to the corporate network are employee-owned.
Even though BYOD has received numerous negative criticism especially concerning security, it is still growing at a 15% annually. A report conducted by MarketsandMarkets estimates that the BYOD market is expected to reach $180 billion by the year of 2017, which is huge. The largest share of the overall managed BYOD market is claimed by North America leading the way with 36% of the market share. The report indicates that the North American Market will hit $58.60 billion by 2017.
