The endpoint is the new workplace
This eBook is not going to tell you that the world has changed, that workers want more flexibility, that customers want more convenience, that cybercriminals want your data or that you can use technology to meet these challenges – IT and business leaders already know all that.
What may be less familiar is the concept of focusing on endpoints, like PCs and mobile devices, as a starting point to drive large- scale modernisation projects. Traditionally, to enable remote work, implement new security measures or simplify IT management, an organisation needed to deploy and manage a separate solution for each objective. Plus, redeploy some solutions multiple times to run on multiple devices.
But widespread remote work has inspired (or necessitated, depending on your point of view) a new approach in which all of these capabilities are incorporated into the operating system itself. The potential benefits and ROI are significant. Employees enjoy smoother, more secure experiences with less downtime – even when working on personal devices – and IT departments can better govern devices, infrastructure and security from a single management tool.
Modernising endpoints is a practical way to realise these benefits. It’s a foundational investment that simplifies operations, safeguards data and sets your organisation up for resiliency and growth.
The practice of improving the ease-of-use, hardware and software performance, cross-functionality and security of workers’ desktop, tablet and mobile devices. This includes personal devices that run work applications.
