In a BYOD environment, IT also must contend with the complications of upgrading different operating systems and devices, which often have upgrades that vary depending on carrier and platform. Upgrades not controlled by IT also run the risk of introducing flawed software from third-party applications into the network.  Solution providers with an enterprise-owned mobile device policy can configure upgrades across the mobile ecosystem as needed.
