can your remote access capacity be increased to support BYOD?
does your infrastructure meet user capacity and performance demands?
does your infrastructure support own-use and team working?
Module 10: Device support
are own-use devices supported? How are public and private data kept separate on own-use devices? do users understand the level of self-support? can devices be wiped?
You need to give BYOD users policies that tell them if (and how) they can use their devices to access particular tools. They may need different levels, depending on what they want to access.
