How to Optimize the Digital Workspace Experience

​

Digital workspaces provide users with a customized portal that offers access to virtualized applications and desktops, software-as-a-service apps, files and other resources. Both Citrix and VMware, for example, have digital workspace offerings that aim to customize and simplify access to all user-facing resources on a single interface. These two products are Citrix Workspace and VMware Workspace One. From the user perspective, it’s helpful to have one personalized and customized portal for all resources. The digital workspace keeps the most relevant resources easily accessible for users, and this centralization allows users to spend less time navigating between applications or files and more time performing tasks. When a workspace is functioning properly, it can help simplify users’ workflows and improve overall productivity, but organizations and IT professionals must take the underlying complexity of providing a quality workspace experience into account.
