Within the last ten years, the demand for mobile devices has skyrocketed. Today, over 31.3 million Canadians are avid smartphone users. It is estimated that by 2022 that number will rise to 32.3 million. As the internet world evolves, the impact it has on the lives of Canadians also becomes greater. With smart technology users are presented with endless possibilities transforming the way we work, shop, socialize, and essentially changing the way we live.
Currently, around 40% of Canadians have an unlimited data plan for home internet usage, with seven out of ten internet users saying they would be more likely to pass on purchasing a home in an area if has low internet speeds. Smartphones have become so resourceful and powerful that they can get you through an entire workday. Because of this, employers are seeing the value of, and embracing the concept of “Bring Your Own Device” to the office workspace.
BYOD for workplaces offers great benefits; employees are more productive and satisfied being able to use a product they are already comfortable with, and organizations are saving costs because they no longer need to provide and maintain expensive hardware. It is no surprise that this trend is popular among enterprises. Why carry two devices when you can have more flexibility with one?
