Deploying a robust BYOD strategy is turning into an increasingly pressing challenge for companies.
employees currently expect to be ready to use your device for work, no matter whether it is or is not sanctioned by their IT department or not. In fact, a third of smartphone owners use their device to work behind the back of their IT department.
Part of the explanation behind staff preferring to use their own devices at work is that they feel most productive sourcing their own applications. For example, the VoIP application favorite, Skype, is the 5thmost downloaded free app globally on Google Play. however may invest in universal communications at company level (UC) applications allow staff even larger increase in productivity, while safer and more secure storage of information?
Microsoft Lync Enter
withdrew their Microsoft Office Communications Server software system (OCS) with the launch of Lync in December 2010. This software system amalgamates individual tools such as video conferencing and instant messaging into one server-side platform, creating a simple to install and manage BYOD solution besides being expensive in many circumstances.
Benefits of the Microsoft Lync
Lync offers some key advantages over OCS, in particular:
- Perfect -Switching integration software between the use of instant messaging or file sharing and VoIP has never been so smooth
and seamless.
- Better management of bandwidth OCS -With an endless amount of users can be active on the network in a time-equivalent, with the bandwidth and quality deterioration. Lync allows network managers to assign bandwidth, limit the users, and audio and video streams also split on each WAN and the Internet at the same time, limiting the impact on bandwidth.
- Cheaper than other solutions-even if the prices of Lync complete packages are $ 245 per user, this can still be still cheaper than its main rivals.
- allows communication on the move job -In terms of BYOD, Lync provides the perfect answer for businesses that want a lot of management in their app portfolio while still allowing staff to work flexibly on their devices.

Drawbacks of Microsoft Lync
Despite the key benefits of Lync, still it suffers from some drawbacks:
greater overall bandwidth use -You may have greater management allocation bandwidth, however, thanks to the superior technical requirements Lync we eat a lot of overall bandwidth.
Encourage adoption -by now many of your employees are going to be familiar with working with applications such as Skype to satisfy their communication desires. Encouraging them to dig what they have already installed on your device in favor of MS Lync can be difficult, though with sufficient preparation and consultation that should be fairly simple.
Ensuring the -Lync productivity gains are supposed to increase productivity by providing staff with a universal communication platform, even once they are on the move . However this level of communication can be distracting, instead of useful, in particular once the subjective feel they have to see all the moving communications.
Microsoft Lync is, of course, only one answer to universal communication needs, and a piece of a giant puzzle of BYOD. If you're curious about allowing BYOD for your business, there are several companies companies within the market to help you on your way.
