Question

What amount is your company stipend?

by Aug 28, 2013 2:24AM PDT

I'm currently writing a new cell policy for my company, and it has been suggested that we offer a stipend in lieu of a fully-subsidized corporate wireless device. I'm curious what amount other companies are providing their employees to ease the transition from corporate controlled to BYOD

The companies I've done work for do not compensate for BYOD for simple reasons. The number one reason is that BYOD increases support costs and as you can guess for the benefit of not supplying gear to the employee.

While BYOD is today's craze I find most IT staffers overwhelmed with "it's not working" calls.

What does work is if you move from apps to web apps. Then you just need your web site to work well.
Bob does BYOD and BYOS (support.)
