Do you BYOD or CYOD? While these sound like fun new party acronyms, they’re actually terms to describe how businesses are managing the mobile devices their employees use on the job. BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device and refers to employers that let employees use their personal phones at work. CYOD stands for Choose Your Own Device, which means employers provide employees with work phones and/or tablets, sometimes allowing them to select their device of choice.
According to Richard Harshaw, president of Lodestar Consulting Systems Inc., Cave Creek, Arizona, both of these approaches are popular with HVAC contractors.
