The BYOD era may be ending already

Few technology trends have forced their way into business as fast as the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement, which started weakly in 2007 with the release of the iPhone but gathered momentum in mid-2010 when Apple added corporate-class management and security features in iOS 4. A year later, IT’s “no way will user devices get into my network” policies were in tatters, with a majority of companies having accepted BYOD for at least a portion of the employee base and for iOS devices.
