As businesses reopen for the first time in more than two years, companies are reassessing their mobile technology policies.

A new study conducted by Samsung and Oxford Economics examines the impact of BYOD and employer-provided device strategies on small and midsize businesses.

The Maximizing Mobile Value study shows that while smartphones now play a greater role in organizations, most haven't created strategies to get the most value from them.

Among the businesses that have embraced BYOD, 77% stated that it's more cost-effective than EPD, while 66% of companies with EPD policies think they save more money by providing smartphones to some or all workers.

As you might expect, BYOD and EPD companies have different perceptions of their mobile maturity.

Only 40% of BYOD businesses have mobile device management tools in place, compared with 93% of EPD organizations.
