More than ever, users expect their workspace to be available when they need it and where they need it.  They don’t want to wait while their bloated profile loads, while their desktop is unresponsive, or while IT fixes a corrupted profile.  They want the flexibility to download applications and customize their desktop.  They want access their data when and where they want. Demanding buggers when I was in IT 20 years ago and even more so now.

Focusing your IT strategy and investments on improving the Windows user experience, will not only reduce the amount of support calls coming in, but it will positively impact the customer experience for your business.

Employees more engaged, motivated and productive when they have autonomy and are empowered with flexible work styles.  They have access to the information and tools they need to solve business problems.  They know their desktop will adapt to changing conditions and work when they need it.  And they will provide better customer service (a competitive advantage for you).

Not convinced?

Join me for an exclusive webinar with guest speaker David K. Johnson, the principal analyst for our space at Forrester Research, Inc.  In this session, David will share what he’s learning from organizations who are succeeding in transforming their Windows environment through continuous improvement toward a better end user experience. I promise you will walk away with actionable takeaways from this webinar.
