Mobile devices are a way of life in both the consumer and business realms — and business interests must be protected where the two converge.

This policy from TechRepublic Premium provides guidelines for the safe and productive use of mobile devices (laptop computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) by employees. It includes stipulations for company and employee-owned devices and requirements for users and IT departments responsible for supporting and administering mobile devices.

From the policy:

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE IT DEPARTMENT

If applicable, the IT department should have a procurement and support policy for issuing company-owned mobile devices. Standardize on the smallest number of models possible for consistency of use and ease of support. Ensure the procurement of unlimited data plans for users to reduce data usage throttling or penalties.
