An old news agency has journalists and reporters globally using both company and personal devices, causing IT problems. With an approved BYOD policy, MDM is now crucial. MDM would allow centralized management of devices through installation, configuration, control of apps and settings from a single software solution. This would reduce IT support costs and business risks. While MDM costs $711,000 annually, it would save $120,000 in device purchases and $400,000 in security and maintenance. Productivity would increase $850,000 annually. The ROI shows payback within seven months. Management approval is now needed to invite vendor proposals for the MDM solution.

Background:
• This is a very old news agency, which has journalists and reporters across the globe.
• Earlier, the company used to give laptops and mobiles, but more and more employees are beginning
to use their own laptops and smartphones, which is causing problems for the company.
• BYOD policy is already approved the management; MDM approval is crucial at this point of time.

Simple 2-stage solution…

Stage 1: BYOD = Bring Your Own Device. (Policy, Already Under Implementation)
To permit employees to bring personally-owned mobile devices (laptops, tablets, and smart phones) to the
office, and to use those devices to access privileged company information and applications.
Stage 2: MDM = Mobile Device Management. (Software, Being Proposed)
To secure, monitor, manage and support mobile devices deployed across countries, service providers,
operating systems, platforms and devices using a single software solution.

$ 42 - $ 122 /user-device /year,
depending on vendor
1200 users x 2 devices/user x $100/device
= $240,000 per year
$ 6-10K for customized deployment,
depending on vendor = $10,000 one-time
$ 25-100K for customer support,
depending on vendor = $75,000 per year
* - numbers from proposal submitted by A_______
