 Compare the BYOD experiences of Michelin North America and Rosendin

Electric.

In comparison with Rosendin Electric, Michelin North America stuck more to the
BYOD Method. The company offered more freedom for their employees as the
choices of carriers were open for employees to select with discount benefits. In this
way, devices are fully personally-owned, with the convenience in the payment
method from the company. Rosendin Electric, instead, equipped employees with
company-owned devices as they believe it would secure their management. Therefore,
there were certain limitations and restrictions on the use of the device and the
distribution of both corporate and personal information.

 Why did BYOD at Michelin work so well?

BYOD at Michelin works very well because they believe in BYOD can make them grow.
Michelin has chosen a managed service from Cass Information System that the company
allows to pay directly to wireless carriers. This system manages costs, services, goods
management, and inventory. They open a portal to register employees automatically.
Moreover, an employee only has a single account to verify eligibility, ensure policy
confirmation and online distribution to the employee's wireless account for them to use
and work to bring benefits to the company. Furthermore, to increase employee
productivity and efficiency, the improvement of technology, mobile functionality is
available and give them the best choice in devices. This increases productivity and
efficiency, making the cost of the company easier and more manageable. In addition, the
company has received discounts from new suppliers on all wireless carriers in the US and
Canada and has reduced Michelin technology deployment costs by more than 30%.
