Business and it architectural requirement analysis of generic BYOD programs

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a contemporary concept and an enterprise mobility management paradigm by which organizations allow employees to connect their personal devices to the corporate network and access collaborative applications. It needs to be analysed and improved in relation to implementation, determination of program and scope, selection of policy and model and demonstration of strategic points. The main objective of this research is to find an answer to "what comprehensive strategy can be advised to organizations in the beginning phase of their first BYOD program?" Within the scope of this work, deciding on a BYOD strategy, determining identity management, defining access policies and implementation of a roadmap to a generic BYOD were examined and evaluated. Systematic literature review was conducted and real world business cases were reviewed. Personal privacy, corporate confidentiality, app wrapping, IAM, and new technology requirements for complex environments are acknowledged as research findings. Public governance bodies, private corporate secrecy, financial design prospect, budget considerations and ever changing legislative environment were primary limitations in this research. Choosing the baseline framework is the first step in this study. A potential benefit of this work is to provide such framework to organizations to decide which additional service and deployment model best meets their needs.
