BYOD Bans Often Aren’t Permanent

A common workplace reaction to the bring your own device (BYOD) phenomenon is an outright ban. But take heart: it might not be forever.

A global survey of 1900 IT managers by Citrix found that while 84 per cent of those surveyed had implemented policies restricting the devices that could be used in the workplace, 51 per cent had since repealed those rules, at least in part. 36 per cent already have BYOD systems in place, and 71 per cent expect to by the end of 2014. That isn’t necessarily a great outcome for workers, but the trend definitely seems to be moving one way.

Check out the infographic below for more details from the survey. What’s the ratio of desks to workers in your office?
