EUC trends and predictions for 2025

This year has unquestionably started off with a bang, as a new administration begins to implement policy changes and a new Congress prepares for their work ahead. While many things remain uncertain, a focus on technology advancements impacting all aspects of our lives remains elevated.

One thing we know for sure is that businesses will continue to face challenges as the landscape of end-user management evolves, particularly in light of changing workplace dynamics. Here are some end-user computing (EUC) trends to watch for and predictions for what will matter most in 2025:

• Zero Trust Security Models: Organizations will increasingly adopt Zero Trust frameworks, ensuring that every access request is authenticated, authorized and encrypted in real-time. This approach will become a standard practice for securing endpoints.
• AI and Automation: AI-driven analytics and automation will play a critical role in managing and securing endpoints. Automated workflows will enhance efficiency, reduce human error, and enable proactive threat detection and response.
• Unified Endpoint Management and VDI: The demand for comprehensive UEM and VDI solutions will continue to grow with a focus on shifting toward a hybrid and public cloud hosting. These platforms will evolve to support a wider range of devices, including IoT and VR, offering seamless integration and management across diverse operating systems.
• Enhanced Employee Experience: Digital employee experience (DEX) will be a priority, with companies incorporating tools and platforms designed to optimize productivity, collaboration and satisfaction. Organizations will focus on providing a seamless user experience, regardless of device or location.
• Focus on Compliance, Privacy and Security: Given liability considerations, organizations will prioritize compliance, privacy and security using tools like Appdome and iVerify to ensure that their endpoint management practices adhere to industry standards and protect sensitive data.
• Sustainability and Green IT: To strengthen corporate governance and align with broader corporate responsibility goals, we anticipate a growing emphasis on sustainable IT practices, including the use of energy-efficient devices and eco-friendly disposal methods available through service providers like Apkudo.
