Login VSI Vision 2022

Now that remote and hybrid experiences have become standard, End User Computing (EUC) teams have new opportunities to rethink their approach to digital workspaces and applications and embrace a culture that delivers an engaging and seamless experience. At the same time, IT still needs to address user support concerns, manage ongoing deployments of updates and patches, and maintain critical endpoint security. The challenge is how to improve both sides – speed up technology transformations and satisfy greater LOB and employee expectations. The new normal for keeping pace in the age of change requires an agile mindset and a different approach. This keynote explores key EUC challenges and offers practical advice for building and maintaining great digital workspaces.

For many organizations deploying VDI or DaaS, a best-effort approach to planning and forecasting user experience, capacity, and ongoing costs is the norm. Whether you read blogs, listen to experts’ advice with easy rules or ratios, or rely on hardware or consulting vendor recommendations around sizing (all of which are excellent starting points), the reality is they know nothing about the DNA of your environment. Once you layer in your personas, applications, agents, and configurations, they create your organization’s unique resource footprint that directly impacts your environment. As load and compute demand increases and the environment changes over time, user experience, operations, and costs become unpredictable, affecting you and your team’s service delivery reputation. Join this session to understand how Login Enterprise helps organizations evaluate, benchmark, and select suitable digital workspaces while providing a strategy to maintain consistency throughout the life of your VDI or DaaS service.

Suppose you are overwhelmed with a mountain of changes in the form of OS updates, patches, and application upgrades and playing “person in the middle” between application owners and security teams. In that case, it might be time to modernize your approach. There is a way to streamline change sets in faster batches, gain insights without waiting for end user champions, and speed up your change windows to days, not weeks. Join this session to see how Login Enterprise can create a frictionless path to production so that every change results in a good night’s sleep.

Organizations largely tend to think about cybersecurity as an IT problem that can be effectively addressed by deploying and managing the right software and tools. Often, they fail to consider the employee experience and how it will impact the end user’s productivity and workflows. Worse yet is that testing the impact of security tools, policy settings and authentication options isn’t always feasible. Login Enterprise was designed to run in an entirely secured environment and our simulated users only exist inside the user session without requiring administrator access. Join this session to hear how one customer uses this unique advantage to close the gap.

A reliable, scalable test environment aligned to the needs of your business is imperative. Setting up a test environment effectively can be challenging, especially when used for verifying technically dense digital workspaces. It’s a well-known fact that a reasonable amount of time is consumed by environmental problems, which in turn affect the results and overall test schedules. At the same time, test environments can be over engineered and add incremental costs to ensure adequate scaling that mirrors your production systems. Join this session to understand the tips and tricks of architecting the best test environments so that your results reliably tell you what you need to know.
