  • AI at the Endpoint: The Impact of AI on End Users and Endpoint Devices

    ·

    Gabe Knuth

    As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are evaluating how AI-driven workloads impact end-user support, digital workspaces, and endpoint strategies. While AI PCs introduce new possibilities for local AI computing capabilities, their integration into enterprise environments is at an early stage, with practical use cases still emerging. Understanding how businesses align these technologies with IT and business objectives is important for establishing a baseline of expectations, driving adoption, and maximizing their potential.

    At the same time, IT and security teams face growing challenges related to “shadow AI”—unsanctioned AI tools used by employees. These tools may enhance individual or team productivity but also introduce security and data governance risks. Organizations must assess the scope of this trend, the potential benefits, and the necessary controls to mitigate risks while supporting innovation.

    Additionally, AI PCs are entering the market amid widespread endpoint refresh cycles, driven by both Windows 11 upgrades and post-pandemic hardware replacement. Enterprises must weigh the urgency of AI adoption against other IT priorities, balancing the need to stay competitive with a cautious approach to emerging AI hardware investments.

    To gain further insights into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 750 business professionals in North America (U.S. and Canada), including 330 IT professionals responsible for their organization’s endpoint computing environment who have insight into how AI is impacting these environments, as well as 420 corporate knowledge workers (i.e., end users) who use or will use AI as part of their daily workflows.

  • Data Readiness for Impactful Generative AI

    ·

    Stephen Catanzano

    As organizations race to develop generative AI solutions to enable data-driven decision-making, create unique customer experiences, improve efficiencies, and build competitive advantages, the importance of data readiness has become increasingly evident. The need to prepare and manage enterprise data effectively for generative AI has placed a sharp focus on data quality, governance, and bias. These factors are now shaping how and when organizations bring their generative AI solutions to life.

    This research highlights a clear demand for generative AI driven by the fear of missing out. This is set against the backdrop of data readiness influencing the pace of adoption.

    To gain further insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 385 IT and data professionals at organizations in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with or responsible for the data governance and AI technologies, processes, and programs used to manage their organization’s data.

  • Where Midmarket Cybersecurity Leaders Should Focus

    ·

    Dave Gruber

    Regardless of company size, robust cybersecurity programs are a business-critical element of any organization that doesn’t want to risk data exfiltration, ransomware, regulatory scrutiny, and other threats. However, recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, revealed that organizational size often correlates with the degree of development and maturity of its cybersecurity programs, especially for those operating as midmarket firms. How can these firms keep up? Where should they focus first?

  • Small Enterprise Cybersecurity Report Card: A Surprising Result

    ·

    Dave Gruber

    As pivotal, operations-supporting technologies, securing cloud infrastructure and applications as well as the data stored in or traveling between them is a major priority for cybersecurity teams today. Recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, revealed that despite their size, smaller enterprises often have mature cybersecurity programs, leveraging many of the same strategies used by much larger, better staffed enterprises. And their challenges align too, as small enterprises also struggle to keep up with increasingly more diverse attack surfaces, tools complexity, and cloud security operations.

  • Organizations Perceive DaaS as Costly but With Added Value

    ·

    Gabe Knuth

    Employee work flexibility, enhanced security, and other benefits are driving organizations to adopt or further deploy desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) technologies. Recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group revealed that the advantages of DaaS strategies must be highly valued by enterprise teams today because they appear willing to overlook some shortcomings in cost expectations to continue to use the technology.

  • Virtual Application Delivery Is Set to Overtake Virtual Desktops

    ·

    Gabe Knuth

    Historically, Windows has been the standard desktop environment for business devices because most organizations’ applications were Windows applications. This concept extended to desktop and application virtualization as well, and since the advent of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in the late 2000s, virtual workloads tended to be more desktop-focused than application-focused. Recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group revealed that certain market forces are turning these trends on their head.
