Cloud Technology News | Deploy a digital workspace | Combined work

The combined work is still here. The Business Uncertainty Survey, conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the University of Chicago and Stanford and polling 500 US businesses each month, recently found that executives Executives expect the number of hybrid workers in their company to increase, as well as fully working remotely. employees from now until 2028.

The immediate disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic means organizations have to improvise. Remote work infrastructure built; the policy is drafted; digital workspace is created. Now that the dust has settled, CIOs and IT decision makers (ITDMs) can better understand creating work experiences that deliver enterprise stability and security and collaboration versus collaboration. office. Outcome: review of the selection, deployment, and management of secure and scalable digital workspace software.

At this point, it is important to clarify the difference between a ‘digital workplace’ and a ‘digital workspace’. A digital workplace, as defined by HP Anyware, is ‘a company’s entire portfolio of applications, devices, facilities, and support services that enhance digital skills and empower for new ways of working’. In contrast, digital workspaces are ‘dynamic and tailored to the needs of users…providing[ing] a personalized experience for each employee.’

This is an important distinction that ITDM must understand. Why? Because a digital workspace is a subset of a digital workspace, and importantly, it is multifaceted, comes in many different shapes and sizes.

It is this flexibility that can cause ITDM headaches when mapping and implementing a strategy. Many people end up not bothering. The Digital Workspace Ecosystem Alliance (DWEA) earlier in 2023 found that of the more than 2,500 digital workspace professionals surveyed, just over a third (36, 9%) have developed a digital workspace strategy. The study also confirmed that hybrid and remote work still exists in the majority (58%) of organizations, of which those looking for their employees to return to the office full-time are “missing one.” The way back is clear.”

So to build a suitable roadmap you need to do? Of course, stakeholder involvement is important; HR, finance, operations and C-Suite, but IT also needs to have an important say, especially when weighing the balance between performance and collaboration. Also remember, like any productivity software, don’t ignore employee behavior and engagement. A fully implemented new solution won’t do anyone any good if users ignore it – or worse, work around it – and revert to their old behavior.

The big concern, of course, is security. As collaborative work increases, so does the attack surface of cybercriminals. Mimecast’s State of Email Security 2022 report shows that nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents see an increase in email-based threats year-over-year. As an HP Anyware report states, “Ensuring connectivity to the digital workspace is just as important as securing enterprise data itself.”

However, according to a survey by HP Teradici, 81% of users find relying on VPNs a challenge due to performance issues – so IT needs to come up with another solution to secure workspaces. Digital jobs are secure wherever and whenever employees access them.

Join HP Anyware, which aims to create a seamless experience for teams to interact with their digital workspace from virtually anywhere. HP Teradici’s PCoIP (PC over IP) technology connects users to a secured digital workspace without the need for a VPN and can handle any type of workload.
