of digital workspace
The VMware State of the Digital Workspace report outlines findings from a
survey of 1,200+ IT decision makers examining progress of global organisations
transitioning to mobile-cloud era.

igital workspace first-movers
experience business, operational,
and financial benefits while
those that wait are falling behind,
according to the VMware State of
the Digital Workspace report. Survey
respondents say game-changing IT
depends on organisations adopting a
digital workspace that includes security
and identity management as vital
components. With realistic prospects of
achieving triple-digit ROI, even surveyed
businesses that cite obstacles to adoption
may want to consider taking another look
at business mobility initiatives.

Organisations understand they
must rethink traditional approaches to
application delivery and management
to stay relevant in an increasingly
digital world. A consumer-simple,
enterprise-secure digital workspace
that unifies user, desktop, and mobile
device management to deliver business
outcomes can be the foundation for
business mobility projects directly linked
to process change and innovation.
The 2015 VMware State of Business
Mobility Report revealed an important
shift in the end-user computing market
as the value of creating more productive
employees began giving way to the larger
value of making entire businesses more
competitive and successful. At the core of
that shift was an emphasis on how mobility
could transform business processes,
helping an organisation connect with
customers, generate new revenue, and
streamline business operations.
With data showing how mobility was
evolving—from individual productivity
to team productivity to true business
process re-engineering, representing
mobility maturity — a clear gap existed
between what businesses had achieved
and the potential that remained ahead.
