The choices are really CYOD or CoPE. Since employees ask for reimbursement, it must Cope. Since from the book "get cetified get ahead" CYOD the employee owns the device. Not the company.

Wrong. This is CompTIA definition Corporate owned, personally-enabled (COPE)—the device is chosen and supplied by the company and remains its property. The employee may use it to access personal email and social media accounts and for personal web browsing (subject to whatever acceptable use policies are in force). Choose your own device (CYOD)—much the same as COPE but the employee is given a choice of device from a list.

That book also says: "Employees can purchase devices on the list and bring them to work." about CYOD. That's why they might ask for reimbursement. The company presents the list of pre-approved devices but expects the employee to buy it.

So, COPE overcomes the problems right?

Yes, exactly. The answer should be COPE and not CYOD. BYOD is probably the deployment model they already have. CYOD doesn't prevent employees asking for a reimbursement of their devices since they're expected to buy the devices themselves.

It is actually CYOD and not COPE. CYOD is still owned by employee but approved by employer.

Guys no need of drama here just read. They currently use BYOD, all problems stated are with BYOD. They ask how the company can overcome this problem - > CYOD or COPE , but as it seems CYOD is more adequate here.

What are u thinking about this: "Employees ask for reimbursement for their devices." CYOD ensures this? No. CYOD says: "Employees can purchase devices on the list and bring them to work." I think, the answer is COPE.

You MUST consider that the company made a decision in the past to not pay!! Why would that change? ONLY ANSWER that makes sense CYOD...company retains ability to not have to pay, gains granular control over the devices.... also see above comment^^^.....FINAL ANSWER....CCCCYYYYOOOOODDDDD

I will Answer this again, given: "A company is using a mobile device deployment model in which employees use their personal devices for work at their own discretion. Some of the problems the company is encountering include the following: ✑ There is no standardization. ✑ Employees ask for reimbursement for their devices. ✑ Employees do not replace their devices often enough to keep them running efficiently. ✑ The company does not have enough control over the devices. (These means the current Implementation is CYOD-Choose your own device.) The Question is: "Which of the following is a deployment model that would help the company overcome these problems?" Answer is COPE-Corporate Owned Personal Enabled

I don't agree. Now it's BYOD maybe but without restictions. In CYOD company has a list devices available and employees may choose one from list. The Company is still owner of device, but standarization is secured here. CYOD is the answer.

"No standardization" means you have the right to chose. CYOD is the correct answer

I am going to say CYOD Reason being, the question says - "In which employees use their own their personal devices for work" We are talking about personal devices which means what the user wants. So if you went COPE and the business said here's you Android phone Dan, and you haev always used iPhones then you wouldn't take it. But if the business said choose between Android and iPhone then you would take the iPhone and use this for work as your PERSONAL device. Remember COPE and CYOD are identical in every way, only different is the user chooses a phone in CYOD rather than being given what the IT department decide.

That is the current model they use. No where do the req mentioned that employees need to continue using their personal devices. Question asks what deployment model could remedy the problem. COPE is correct. With COYD, employees will purchase the phone so they could ask for reimbursement still.

COPE and CYOD are not the same. In COPE the company provides everything and has full control of the devices in every way. In CYOD the company only provides a list of pre-approved devices the user can purchase to facilitate support, but the user still has to purchase, so they still may ask for reimbursement.

For C to be the correct answer, the question should be different. So, guys makes sure to read the question on the exam very careful.

I think the keyword is "help" versus absolutely resolve all issues. I know... spitting hairs, but it makes sense to me. So its CYOD. The company is concerned about their security issues, not your complaint for reimbursement.

Where it says the company is concern about their security? The question ask to overcome "these" problems not overcome "some" of this problems... meaning that the answer need to overcome all the issues!

CYOD won’t help with employees wanting reimbursement.. hence the answer is COPE.

The question is about what improves the company's current condition. According to the situation, the company is using CYOD, but COPE will improve the situation to eliminate the concerns raised, hence the correct answer should be COPE.

The question asks "Which of the following is a deployment model that would help the company overcome these problems?" Problem 1: No standardization. Solution: CYOD - (standard) phone is owned by employee but approved by employer. Problem 2: Employees ask for reimbursement for their devices. Solution: CYOD - the employee owns the device - not the company. No reimbursements. Problem 3: The company does not have enough control over the devices. Solution: CYOD - the company confines you to a list of phones to choose from.
