I'd say it's the wrong track. You can cut TCO of hardware and licensing 
by using Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solutions (AKA "thin clients") 
instead. You could even have enough money in the budget to supply mobile 
workers with company laptops.

The thin client setup could use your existing desktop hardware as 
endpoints. Desktop endpoints can be swapped out to sub $200 clients when 
they die, and these clients probably have a life of around 8 years.

BYOD is a maintenance, organisational, efficiency and security 
nightmare.
