Cisco IBSG Horizons is a multimodal research and analysis program designed to identify business transformation opportunities fueled by technology innovation. Horizons’ multimodal approach focuses on three core areas: (1) primary research such as customer surveys, focus groups, and subject-matter-expert interviews; (2) in-depth secondary research from market leaders and influencers; and (3) the application of predictive analytics to garner insights about technology innovations and quantify their impacts.
"Bring your own device" (BYOD) is the new mantra of employees who are empowered to innovate the way they work, using the technology tools they prefer. To help companies determine the current and potential value of BYOD, Cisco IBSG conducted a detailed financial analysis of BYOD in six countries. Our findings show that, on average, BYOD is saving companies money and helping their employees become more productive. But the value companies currently derive from BYOD is dwarfed by the gains that would be possible if they were to implement BYOD more strategically.
