To put it simply, employees expect to enjoy the same <strong>ease of use<\/strong> in their working environment, as they do in their personal life thanks to <strong>mobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>User experience<\/h2>\n<p>The primary key to success when it comes to adopting the digital workspace, is to ensure the most <strong>seamless experience <\/strong>possible for end-users. For example, the easier a person can switch between their workstation and a <strong>mobile device<\/strong>, the better. Obviously, this entails your IT department should take into consideration the diversity of apps, since the required applications and device preferences can significantly vary.<\/p>\n<p>One way to support many different types of users is to deploy a <strong>cloud-based solution<\/strong> that will provide a <strong>streamlined environment <\/strong>with personalized <strong>sign-on features<\/strong>. This would enable users to access their own environment, with the specific <strong>apps<\/strong> they need for their job, by just entering their credentials, and can prove to be quite useful, especially when people are sharing <strong>many different devices<\/strong>. And all this thanks to the so-called <strong>\u201cmobile-cloud convergence<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Security<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from user experience, security is the second parameter that defines the modern, digital workspace. The goal remains the same: deploying a solution that will be <strong>easy to use and manage<\/strong>, and above all, <strong>secure<\/strong>. Businesses don\u2019t have to compromise on issues related to accessing sensitive<strong> corporate data<\/strong>. Access to such data should be exclusively restricted to trusted users, devices and applications. This requirement entails searching for a solution that will <strong>protect <\/strong>the digital workspace, restricting mobile apps, data and the digital traces of devices within the <strong>datacentre <\/strong>and the <strong>intranet<\/strong>, when deemed necessary.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, securing mobile devices does not mean restricting the personnel\u2019s <strong>productivity<\/strong>. Solutions such as <strong>one-touch mobile sign<\/strong>, allow users to <strong>access <\/strong>the applications they want without having to use complicated PIN codes and passwords<strong>. <\/strong>The right solution is out there and it is worth <strong>discovering <\/strong>the one that <strong>meets your needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since cloud computing and IoT have established their presence, IT departments need to create a controlled and easy-to-use environment for all platforms and devices.
