  1. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)An informal breakfast debate withVodafone and IDC The Saxon Boutique Hotel Sandhurst, Sandton 4 July 2012

  2. Are you making mobility part of your future? 3

  3. One in every 5 employees is now a mobile worker. “Bring You Own Device” initiatives are becoming increasing commonplace. Is the nine-to-five office model about to become a thing of the past?

  4. ARE YOU MAKING MOBILITY PART OF YOUR FUTURE? Vodafone shares four key areas driving mobile working across the enterprise

  5. How are you managing BYOD challenges in your organisation? SPOTLIGHT TOPICS 6

  6. TOPIC 1: BYOD in the Local Market and the Global Enterprise • Consumers are currently forcing organisations to rethink or at the very least question their enterprise productivity strategies. The hype around Consumerisation of IT is strong, persistent and global and organisations are scrambling to understand it, plan for it and harness it for the good of their business. Questions on the table: • Is BYOD a reality for your market? • What factors/drivers are influencing your view of BYOD? • Does your organisation have BYOD in place or planning to deploy/POC? If latter, when? • How does your company address BYOD across multiple geographies?

  7. TOPIC 2: Challenges and Business Benefits of BYOD • Consumerisation of IT spans both devices (such as the Apple and Android families) as well as applications (with the phrase 'there's an app for that' almost a truism). Combined these two facets have given rise to a concept of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) where employees bring their own computing equipment into the organisation to perform their jobs. Not content with the corporate IT environment, employees bypass it with their own 'infrastructure'. Or at least that's the theory… Questions on the table: • Cost savings are an assumed benefit of BYOD - realistic or not? • Another large assumption is employee productivity - reality or a myth? • What are other perceived benefits of BYOD? • Where are the IT challenges around BYOD? (eg multi OS, support, security, compliance, prof/personal usage, costs, etc)

  8. TOPIC 3: Implementation of BYOD • BYOD creates both opportunity and liability. On one hand organisations expect greater productivity, satisfaction and flexibility from their employees as they embrace a work ethic of anytime, anywhere, anyhow. However the multi-OS, professional/personal device divide, security, storage and legalities of personal device usage at work also create a potential minefield for organisations that do not actively plan for BYOD. Questions on the table: • BYOD is a reactive strategy or can it be proactive? • Is BYOD simply just an IT Group issue? • How does your organisation address the non-IT aspects of BYOD implementation ? eg. Employee contract changes, provision of stipends for purchase, etc • How has your company implemented BYOD? reactive or coherent • Was policy developed before the event or a rationalisation after BYOD had happened? • What is your companies long term attitude to BYOD and the consumerisation of IT
