Look around. On the street, at restaurants, sports events, and stores, you" find many people using their smartphones. And many people are starting to use these devices on the job as well. According to a Juniper Research report, the number of employees who use personal devices at work will 350 million by 2014. About 150 million people their own mobile phones and tablets at the workplace today If almost everyone has a personal smartphone, why not use it for work? Employees using their own smart- phones would allow companies to enjoy all of the same benefits of a mobile workforce without spending their own money on these devices, but IT depart
ments need to overcome several logistical hurdles to make that vision a reality. Using personal devices for business poses difficult problems for companies, including security, inventory management, support, integrating mobile devices into pre-existing IT func tions and systems, and measuring return on invest- ment. In other words, it's not that simple. A significant portion of corporate IT resources is dedicated to managing and maintaining a large num- ber of devices within an organization. In the past, companies tried to limit business smartphone use to a single platform. This made it easier to keep track of each mobile device and to roll out software upgrades or fixes, because all employees were using the same devices, or at the very least, the same operating sys- tem.
