The global report finds new technologies and work styles have transformed endpoint management, communications and collaboration solutions and tools for maximizing employee engagement and productivity.

"The sudden need for remote work during the pandemic has shone a spotlight on the potential of digital workplace technologies," said Dee Anthony, leader, ISG Workplace of the Future.

In the past two to three years, unified endpoint management has been transformed from a combination of client management tools and enterprise mobility management into single-pane, co-management solutions that bridge these approaches and enable administration of both modern and traditional devices, the report says.

At the same time, UEM vendors had to extend their solutions to virtual devices and endpoints.

Security, which was not a central feature of UEM at first, has become the most important aspect of UEM solutions, according to ISG. Many vendors now integrate UEM with solutions for endpoint detection and response, identity and access management and security information and event management.

Platforms for engagement and productivity begin with meeting and conferencing solutions and typically include intranets, enterprise social networking, automated team collaboration solutions and task/project management capabilities.
