End-user computing (EUC)

End-user computing (EUC)  

End-user computing (EUC) is a combination of technologies, policies, and processes that gives your workforce secure, remote access to applications, desktops, and data they need to get their work done. Modern enterprises use EUC so that their employees can work from wherever they are, across multiple devices, in a safe and scalable way. A well-designed EUC program gives users immediate access to the digital technologies they need for productivity, both on-premises and remotely in the cloud.

What are the benefits of EUC?

End-user computing (EUC) offers organizations several valuable advantages. We give some EUC benefits below.

Business continuity

Hundreds of millions of people now work remotely, with no or limited access to company hardware. EUC has been critical to business continuity as employees access the business applications and data they need on their personal devices.

Security

EUC services and applications are centrally managed. They store data and desktops centrally in the cloud and stream only pixels out to endpoint devices, avoiding sensitive data downloads to user devices. End users can use multi-factor authentication to access EUC systems, even further decreasing the risk of unauthorized data access if an employee's device is lost or stolen.

Agility

Cloud-based EUC solutions greatly improve agility by providing instant scalability, making it more straightforward for organizations to deploy and manage secure virtual desktop infrastructure. You can release new software and new tools or turn existing Windows- or Linux-based applications into Software as a Service (SaaS) applications faster than you could on premises. EUC also makes it more efficient to oversee migrations and deployments.

Cost savings

It is more cost effective for enterprises to manage centralized desktops and EUC solutions in the cloud. You can manage and install applications in a single location, reducing management complexity and cost. You can also add and remove users on demand and pay only for what you use, when you use it. You no longer need to overbuy hardware and licenses for peak user capacity.

Testing

EUC is an optimum environment for rapid prototyping and testing. Organizations can offer new tools to their workers to test how effective and user friendly they are on a large scale. EUC allows you to change design and structure to rapidly carry out testing campaigns.

Collaboration

Teams using EUC services can securely collaborate on projects, with their content stored on the cloud. You can also share project information with external users for cross-organizational collaboration with changes made in real time
