In the last decade, we moved from mobile device management (MDM) into enterprise mobility management (EMM), and now we’re shifting towards a unified endpoint management (UEM) model. UEM is all about unifying app, desktop and mobile management. Over the past 18-24 months, we have seen that business users have come to expect a more natural and consumer-like experience in the workplace. To meet their needs and provide a more efficient experience with the necessary security, enterprises need to start their journey on the path to UEM.
At its annual analyst event, VMware presented its vision for the digital workspace and UEM. This report presents Strategy Analytics’ thoughts on VMware 2017 progress and development as they relate to its portfolio, strategy and go-to-market initiatives.
