- ghaff 16y agoIt really depends on the IT department and which applications you need to run. If everything you need to access is through a Web interface (perhaps over a VPN) then, policy permitting, there's no technical reason that you can't use pretty much any endpoint device you want that supports the necessary Web standards--and possibly VPN client. Generally speaking, formal BYOPC programs are more restrictive but in lots of high tech companies, people use a variety of their own gear.
