Need for an Enhanced User Experience Drives Adoption for VDI and User Experience Management Solutions

Earlier this year, during our annual DISRUPT event, we had the opportunity to dig deeper into the issues and challenges IT faced during the onset of the global pandemic. Most specifically, we looked into how end user computing (EUC) professionals addressed the immediate need to move workers from the office to home with record speed.

Based on survey responses from 269 end user computing (EUC) professionals across North America and EMEA, 61% named user experience the most significant challenge they faced when shifting to a work-from-home model. While being the number one issue across all regions, the challenge was more prevalent in North America (66%) than EMEA (52%).

IGEL Weekly: IGEL and Citrix: Delivering an Exceptional Collaborative Experience

Multimedia Sharing and Remote Conferencing Driving Demand for Unified Communications Solutions that Support Seamless Collaboration

IGEL’s survey of end user computing concerns this year revealed the top concern of IT professionals (61%) is delivering a productive, satisfying user experience. Businesses are heeding these concerns and evolving from the concept of remote working to a ‘work is not a place’ philosophy. They are mindful that users expect, wherever they choose to work, and on whatever endpoint, to have a pleasant, productive experience. That desire certainly extends to video conferencing and collaboration, as many employees have had to learn quite quickly to conduct meetings virtually and share files and graphics without looking like a wonky school lab student!

Now that applications like Zoom and Teams are part of our everyday process – whether working remotely or joining a meeting on-prem – we’re seeing organizations wanting to up their game and deliver the absolute best, high-fidelity, immersive digital experience. To accomplish this, they’re turning to the combined power of IGEL and Citrix to provide a complete, unified communications digital workspace solution that enables seamless collaboration, almost anywhere, at any time. Users benefit by getting fast, frictionless access to virtualized and cloud workspaces from any IGEL OS-powered endpoint, from any location – realizing the flexibility that is so important to productivity.
