Your BYOD stipend
is costing more than
you think.

A $60/month stipend at 500 employees is $360K/year - with zero device visibility, partial MDM coverage, and growing compliance exposure. There's a smarter model.

The Problem with BYOD

What your device program is actually costing you

Most organizations measure BYOD cost as the monthly stipend. The real number is nearly double - and the security exposure isn't captured in any budget line.

$900+

Annual spend per employee - with nothing to show for it

Stipend + IT support overhead + security incident amortization. No asset, no MDM guarantee, no compliance paper trail.
