Updating the workplace with BYOD and wireless presentation

As the importance of flexible and mobile working grows, so too is the popularity of coworking spaces. These are spaces where people working on different projects for different companies can make use the provided desks and infrastructure (e.g. the computer network or meeting rooms).

 This is where the BYOD trend is of benefit. People are able to bring with them their own devices and use them in the coworking space. Agencies and other service providers such as freelancers can go to their customers to present their ideas or update them on the progress of projects using their own laptop.

BYOD tends to bring with it more satisfaction, motivation, and a better feeling of well-being from being able to work on a familiar device. At the same time, uninterrupted communication is ensures - even for non-desk staff. Furthermore, the costs of acquiring new hardware are reduced - a big advantage for many companies. But what kind of things need considering for integrating devices into the company network?

Challenges include the technical measures that need to be taken, as well as data security regulations. Exactly where the boundaries of company networks lie is becoming increasingly unclear. This is in turn is making the protection, integrity, and security of confidential data increasingly important. These topics are already well-known to many companies and already covered by existing IT policies.

Companies should look to include aspects relating to BYOD into their MDM (Mobile Device Management) strategy. The first step is profiling. All devices that are permitted to access company networks and resources are classified. Devices are classified so that they can be identified when accessing the company network. Secure management is everything.
