Google Trends is an online tool that allows you to view the amount of searches (and thus the popularity) of a particular topic. Not surprisingly, some of the most popular trending topics include:
• Unified Communications
• Collaboration
• VoIP
• Cloud Applications
However, one trending technology topic caught us by surprise: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Even more surprising is that BYOD – a term that did not even register before 2012 – is actually out trending all of the aforementioned topics.
What Makes BYOD so Popular?
- Allows businesses to save on the purchasing and managing of devices
- Shift costs from the business to the user
- Accordining to the Good Technology State of BYOD Report, “50 percent of companies with BYOD models are requiring employees to cover all costs — and they are happy to do so.”
- Users have the laptops and smartphones they have for a reason – they like them!
- Allows businesses to still leverage the latest technology
- A recent survey conducted by Vanson Bourne, found that 80% of IT managers / directors surveyed believe that BYOD will lead to significant cost savings.
A plethora of online business articles over the past few weeks points to the importance of this emerging trend, from a business week checklist on BYOD preparation to the Pros and Cons of BYOD from IT World
