  • Description: Second, federal agencies face "duplicative costs" building out new infrastructure to support BYOD while maintaining their old mobile infrastructure for existing government-issued devices, El-Alaily said. Censeo recently helped a mid-size decentralized civilian agency move to BYOD, which has been widely adopted in the private sector to help firms avoid the initial costs of purchasing smartphones, laptops and tablets. "If you are going to set up BYOD as a voluntary program, it will incur a cost burden," he said. Where BYOD can save money is in use cases where it's implemented uniformly and relies on virtual infrastructure. For example, an agency may decide to replace all of its desktop computers with employees' personal laptops, saving more than $1,000 per user on infrastructure costs, according to Gartner.
