Who can benefit from BYOPC?

BYOPC is a great fit for flexible workers and contractors who will only be employed for a short time. IT teams should consider a BYOPC strategy for the following types of workers:

Flexible and remote workers

People who frequently transition from the office to remote work locations and need secure, continuous access to company resources.
