Digital Workspace

A digital workspace is an integrated technology framework designed to deliver and manage app, data, and desktop delivery. It allows employees to access their apps and data real-time—on any device, from any location, regardless of whether the information is stored through cloud services or in the data center. The most successful workspace solutions provide a unified, contextual, and secure experience for IT and end users.

What does a digital workspace include?

Key components of a unified, secure collaborative workspace include:

• App and desktop virtualization that gives employees easy remote access to day-to-day resources from outside the office
• File sharing and content collaboration tools that let teams create, edit, and review content from any device while giving IT teams greater control
• Unified endpoint management that brings all personal laptops, corporate PCS, smartphones, tablets, and more into one central management console
• Single sign-on (SSO) for fast, secure access to all apps employees need for the day

What are the benefits of a digital workspace?

The modern digital workspace can benefit today’s workplaces in several key areas:

1. A better employee experience
   A digital workspace solution can help transform the employee experience by enabling a more flexible workstyle that attracts and retains the kind of talent needed to move business forward. Because business processes can be completed from anywhere, employees are able to choose the locations, devices, and times that are most productive for them.
2. Enhanced security and data breach protection
   The digital workspace improves security by giving IT a complete view into network traffic, users, files, and endpoints, making it easier than ever to stay ahead of both internal and external threats. Machine learning and artificial intelligence built into the digital workspace protect company data from hacks, malware, and end-user mistakes—long before they happen. In addition, SSO access to all apps and data ensure users have fewer passwords to manage—which means less risk to the business.
3. Flexibility to choose any technology your organization needs
   A digital workspace makes it easy for organizations to embrace new technologies and the cloud without worrying about security or a compromised user experience. A digital workspace offers one place for people to access any app, whether SaaS, web, mobile, or virtual. And IT can manage it all in one unified console on the back end. Advanced security controls for SaaS and web apps mean IT can let people use the apps they know and love but in a controlled work environment.
