Introduction

This MacVoices Live! discussion with David Ginsburg, Jeff Gamet, Jim Rea, Guy Serle, Warren Sklar, Mark Fuccio, Patrice Brend’Amour, Jay Miller, Brittany Smith, and Kelly Guimont shifts to a hot topic in the business world: bring your own device (BYOD) vs. choose your own device (CYOD). Which is better for you? Which is better for your employer? Is your personal device at risk if you use it for work? Or would you rather select your preferred laptop or phone, and let the company foot the bill. The answers are far more complex than you might think. Watch and learn how to make an informed decision. (Part 3)
