Users Expectations are Evolving
Recent developments in workplace technology have led users in every size of business to evolve their expectations regarding the unique ways technology assists their productivity. As a result, IT is faced with a new set of challenges as it scrambles to meet these users' needs while maintaining its ongoing mandate of efficient, secure IT operations.
Factors affecting this change include the massive proliferation of device types, the proliferation of line-of-business (LOB) and productivity applications, and the growing expectation that users must be able to run these apps on any device from any location, via a mobile experience that is tailored to whatever device they are using.
In response, IT is challenged to seek cost-effective methods for:
- Managing the complexities of deploying multiple apps across multiple devices and platforms.
- Providing enterprise-level security for all user experiences, including when users expect the freedom to "bring your own device" (BYOD).
- Allowing and supporting interoperability of LOB and productivity applications across all devices and platforms.
- Ensuring the performance and uptime users require in order to maintain productivity.
As these challenges compound, three main success factors emerge for devising a strategy: data and app security, app access across platforms, and ease of IT management.
