Wear Your Own Device (WYOD)
WYOD is not a widely used term and some can argue it is a subset of BYOD - regardless it is something that cannot be ignored. The significance of WYOD is in extending use cases beyond IT providing/allowing access to enterprise and consumer applications. WYOD is about enablingInternet of Things (IoT) use cases. Commercially, there are many applications in healthcare, military, supply-chain, factories etc that can benefit from WYOD. While the firstGoogle Glass wasn't a commercial success, next generation of such devices combined with fast, affordable and reliable wireless connectivity, ease of use and new IoT applications will drive greater adoption. Apple Watch, Fitbit and other wrist wearable devices are already being used for smarthome and personal health applications. We will see growth in commercial adoption as developers write new IoT applications for wearables.


Wearable technology adoption is surely on the rise and while it is not forecasted to be faster than Smartphones, this category is emerging as the next biggest connected device category. IDC is forecasting 155.7 million units to be shipped in 2019. And a lot of us will be wearing these. In full disclosure, I don't have a wearable device on me but I am sure I will find a justification to own one in 2016

How about you? Are you going to Wear Your Own Device (WYOD) in 2016? If you're in IT, are you going to incorporate WYOD in your portfolio?
