Why adopt desktop or application virtualization in your enterprise? The better question is: Why not?
Among many benefits, decreased IT management complexity presents a significant value proposition. So too does greater employee mobility and flexibility. Improving the employee experience by making technology an enabler, not a barrier, has been a top priority for business leaders in the last few years.
Unfortunately, many organizations have not succeeded in creating a better employee experience — at least when it comes to IT professionals. Today, one-third of organizations have more than 25% of their users working remotely, and nearly 100% have at least some remote workers, according to TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group, based on research conducted with technology decision makers. So, organizations need to have a remote-work strategy in place to support those workers and the devices that they want to work from.
New IT burdens and challenges
But not all companies’ strategies involve desktop or application virtualization. And thanks to the increase in hybrid and remote work, and in device diversity, IT environments are becoming more complex.
Improving IT staff’s circumstances for managing these environments is an imperative. A new report finds that at least one in four IT professionals is suffering from burnout, and turnover is driven in part by burnout due to increasing workloads and longer work hours.
Combat complexity with desktop and app virtualization
How to combat the complexity that is driving away tech talent? Desktop and app virtualization is critical in any remote work strategy, especially when dealing with multiple endpoint device types. That message is starting to get through, with 38% of respondents to the Enterprise Strategy Group survey reporting that delivering apps/desktops to various endpoint device types was one of the top reasons their organization deployed a desktop or application virtualization solution. The strategy, which helps to relieve IT burden, must — and will — persist in the coming years.
