- BYOD, or else! Companies will soon require workers use their own smartphone
- Security remains the main BYOD concern, but CIOs seen ready to create strategies that keep companies safe, by Lucas Mearian. Computerworld (US), 1 May, 2013. "Bring-your-own-device strategies are the single most radical change to the economics and culture of client computing in a decade, according to a new study by Gartner. One radical change BYOD is expected to spawn: By 2017, half of all employers will require workers to supply their own devices for work purposes. Also, Gartner says, enterprises that offer only corporately-owned smartphones or stipends to buy your own will soon become the exception to the rule..."

- Where's the BYOD Payoff?
- by Tom Kaneshige. CIO (US), 24 April, 2013. "Companies jumping on the bumpy "Bring Your Own Device" bandwagon might be the real losers. That is, corporate dollars are falling out of their pockets. A new report from Nucleus Research takes a close look at BYOD costs and finds that companies are financing the trend with little in return. "The hard ROI of BYOD is a straightforward accounting exercise that is being confused by the feel-good claims around productivity and vendor proclamations that lack a financial foundation," writes Hyoun Park, principal analyst at Nucleus and author of the report..."

- Posted by Anna Stroncek for GovDelivery. Reach the Public, April 19th, 2013. "... The need to innovate to solve public sector challenges is quite familiar to Phil Bertolini, CIO for Oakland County, Michigan. While struggling with decreasing revenues and budgets, Bertolini and his team found that citizens were demanding more information than ever before. They quickly realized the need to find an efficient and effective way to meet citizens' needs while simultaneously meeting the county's budget. Realizing that traditional methods would not suffice, Bertolini looked elsewhere, looking to technology as a solution for Oakland County's communications challenge. The transition to digital communications began changing the way Oakland County handled their communications. Oakland County began placing more and more information online, leveraging various social media channels to reach a larger audience much more quickly than before. Citizens now had easy access to the information they needed through a variety of convenient, online channels that provided savings in both time and resources to Oakland County..."

- BYOD On the Rise Worldwide
- By Bill Maile. Government Technology, March 22, 2013. "Whether in the state of Washington, or in China, Taiwan or Australia, government workers using their own smart phones on the job is on the rise, according to Joel Cherkis, general manager of Microsoft's worldwide public sector business... Cherkis also emphasized using mobile technology to promote citizen engagement and enable leaders in government. For government leaders, the ability to access accurate and timely information using a mobile device, with a dashboard or scorecard app, is critical for making decisions quickly. Citizen engagement is a top priority for many governments, including the state of California. Cherkis said that citizens expect to reach their government from anywhere, at anytime. He used an example of his home state of Washington where, if you want to launch your boat from a public ramp, there is a mobile app that allows boaters to buy a license without having to visit the agency in person..."
