Benefits of a digital workspace

Flexibility

Virtual desktops and other digital workspace technology allow employees to work wherever and whenever they want, on whichever device they prefer. This provides workers with a greater sense of control over their lives since their work life and personal life aren't constantly conflicting.

Improved collaboration

A digital workspace encourages easy, streamlined interactions between coworkers and supervisors. Links, data, documents and images can be easily shared, and employees can work on projects together regardless of their physical location.

Higher retention rates

A digital workspace has the potential to strengthen a company's employee experience. The empowerment that comes from increased flexibility also helps workers trust and respect their superiors and feel like they are trusted and respected in return. This increases employee satisfaction and makes it more likely that workers will commit to and remain with the company for extended periods of time.

Evolution of the digital workspace

The concept of a digital workplace is not new. As companies continue to go through a digital transformation, the idea of a workplace perimeter continues to disappear. While modern desktop transformation has IT departments decoupling user data and applications from the OS and its device, users want these workspace components wherever and whenever they need them. Freeing data from the underlying software platform provides workers with the flexibility they need to be more productive and collaborate more effectively..

Challenges of a digital workspace

The digital workspace increases the number of applications and systems being used as well as the amount of sharing that occurs. This creates a need for stronger and more scalable security that allows users to collaborate with external partners securely. Unfortunately, securing and managing data produced through this external collaboration is one of the biggest challenges in the digital workspace.

The digital workspace lacks the ability to provide centralized notifications. Unlike a smartphone, where notifications from every application can be seen in one place, digital workspace notifications are spread across various systems and apps. As a result, digital workspace users rely heavily on their email inbox as the primary notification center. This decreases efficiency throughout the workforce since it takes more time and energy to track what's going on and ensure nothing is being missed.

Training and adoption of the digital workspace are other challenges companies face. Users often complain that they are not provided with proper training when new systems are introduced and, therefore, applicants should follow up step by step to ensure the success of the company's goals
