• They must accept that limitations placed on their devices could affect user experience, and might include the filtering of business data.

Security is a major concern in BYOD rollout. Midland's Fung said employees needs to log in to corporate mobile apps with a user name, a passcode, plus a one-time password sent via the firm's IM tool. "We built this one-time password tool by ourselves to minimize data theft risk," he said. "Unless an employee shows the data on his/her device to another person after logging in, the chance of leaking data to an outsider is slim."

Fung added that the firm will also limit data access when rolling out the sales force automation app. "A sales agent will be able to view his/her own data without access to corporate data from this mobile app," he said.
