For starters, who are millennials exactly? They’re defined as those born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s.
Millenials pouring into the workforce are said to be blamed for the bring your own device (BYOD) era. They have the latest technology and are reluctant to use anything else. Millenials actually want to blend their personal and business lives by working weekends and odd hours.
Not to mention, they’ve brought their own form of communication – social media. Social network allows them to post and share constantly, in and out of the office!
As their ranks grow, it’s essential to understand how they will transform mobility in the workplace.
Safe & Sound
The key to mobility in the office is finding harmony between employee freedom and corporate protection.
It is predicted by Gartner experts that organizations who cannot find a happy medium between mobile device management and BYOD will experience lower productivity, staffing problems and security risks as users rebel.
But that doesn’t make dealing with questions and concerns of BYOD something that can be brushed to the side, says David Willis, chief of mobility research with Gartner. “Mobile device management in the corporate world is going to be as common as antivirus was for PCs. At a certain point, you won’t pass an audit if you don’t have these protections in place.”
A recent enterprise mobility survey commissioned by Oracle found that mobile-related IT expenses are expected to grow by more than 50 percent in two years. Unfortunately, security and integration remain issues of concern.
For this reason, IT managers are turning to mobile management outsourcing.
In a recent survey, nearly half of IT managers are either planning to outsource mobile management or have already done so.
