MANILA, Philippines, AUGUST 1, 2014 – In recent years, workplaces have witnessed the rise of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend. A company’s in-house BYOD policy governs how employees may use their personal devices in accessing corporate data and systems. It encourages company employees to work on the device they choose - like accessing corporate email on their iPhone 5s or using a Google Nexus 7 to do the payroll on their online portal. The benefits to companies include increased productivity and employee satisfaction, since employees now use the devices they are most comfortable with. Also, they avoid the necessity or hassle of carrying multiple devices.
