Report Highlights
Desktop management is an important and widely used IT infrastructure
management technology. The penetration rate is high and although the volume of
enterprises planning investment in desktop management solutions is marked,
investment is declining.
The changing composition of desktop estates and operating system upgrades may
provide desktop management vendors with fresh opportunities in the next two
years. However, long term technology trends of decreased reliance on desktop
computing will pose a serious challenge for desktop management solution
providers.
Although most of the spending in absolute terms will still be concentrated
within larger enterprises, the demand within smaller enterprises will grow.
Vendors need to consider the optimal way to meet the demand in different
industry verticals, particularly those that do not rely as heavily on
conventional desktop computing.
