Echoing the sentiments of Murphy, Freimark and others, the Forrester report states:

"For CIOs, BYOD is both an opportunity to outsource cost to employees and also a call to action to implement security models and application architectures that are device-agnostic. Only in this way can you get out of the business of device provisioning and into the business of service provisioning, and that's where you can make a real difference in employee's satisfaction and productivity."
