    When IT had to perform an endpoint hardware refresh every three to five years and work around an operating system upgrade schedule, work for the IT pro was relatively predictable. Employees were happy on day one but didn’t experience the initial out-of-the-box performance again until they were due for an upgrade. Fast forward to today and new features seem to be introduced daily; network access abounds throughout our daily lives while endpoint device innovation challenges the traditional endpoint experience, IT management strategies, security strategies, and legacy processes.

    当 IT 必须每三到五年执行一次端点硬件更新并按照操作系统升级时间表进行工作时,IT 专业人员的工作相对来说是可以预测的。员工在第一天就很高兴,但是直到升级到期之前,他们才再次体验到最初的开箱即用性能。快进到今天,似乎每天都会推出新功能;网络访问在我们的日常生活中比比皆是,而端点设备创新挑战了传统的端点体验、IT 管理策略、安全策略和传统流程。

    Technology matters more than ever today, as ESG research recently discovered when 83% of respondents shared that they believe that technology has increased their personal productivity.1 Desktops as we know them today may not be doomed, but how they are delivered, secured, and managed will impact the quality of the technology experience.

    正如 ESG 研究最近发现的那样,当 83% 的受访者表示他们认为技术提高了个人工作效率时,技术比以往任何时候都更加重要。1 我们今天所知道的台式机可能不会注定要失败,但是如何交付、保护和管理它们将影响技术体验。
