Today, people’s needs and expectations of the workplace are significantly different, when compared to just a few years ago. Over time, end-users have seen the digital workplace evolve from being simply a modernized typewriter into a sophisticated, multi-function device that is capable of providing integrated functionality to enable the execution of many varied and often complex and business critical tasks.

Furthermore, recent advances in technology, innovation and working practices, mean that the relationship between functionality, device and location no longer has to be fixed. These changes have had a considerable impact on the shape and overall complexity of the workplace. This also impacts on how a modern workplace infrastructure needs to be managed within an enterprise.

Organizations today demand an infrastructure to support dynamic business models that add value to their enterprise and enable true business agility. For both service provider and client, it has become crucial to find a solution that offers the right balance between reducing operational costs, increasing end-user functionality and managing the continuous innovation process.
