Check out this view on the complexities surrounding the managing of a PC Desktop environment with issues like constant stream of critical operating system (OS) and application patches, multiple hardware platforms, inconsistent OS versions, non-stop PC replacement cycles, and evolving security threats.
SystemicLogic publishes monthly a magazine called the Insider Edition that covers a particular theme. The magazine is distributed to subscribing research participants. This month the publication addressed the challenges and best practices in the Desktop management environment. I would like to write in my own words what seems to be the main challenges of the Desktop enviornment according to the latest publication.
The challenges of the desktop environment are:
• Defining the desktop
• Instability in the desktop stack
• Dealing with increasing number of users
• Aligning user expectations and asset management
• Managing security risks
• Reducing the cost of outsourcing and support
• Preventing illegal software use and information access
