PCs for dispersed workforce more expensive, more
complex

• Traditional desktop-based endpoints are costlier
  to deploy and replenish, difficult to secure and
  manage. Typically, PCs have a lifecycle of 3-4
  years after which their value is lost
  significantly and need to be updated by brand new
  ones resulting in increased costs. Such short
  lifecycles of PCs also mean more and more e-waste
  is generated. E-waste handling is a very complex
  and costly process in most parts of the world.

Endpoint-related challenges

• Regularly replenishing/upgrading PC software and
  hardware
• Providing laptops to new hires, vendors and
  third-party consultants
• Resolving remote endpoint issues which need IT
  teams physical intervention
• Allocating and distributing high configuration or
  low configuration devices as per user profile
• Managing the complex process of e-waste handling
  and disposal
• Monitoring user activities as effectively as when
  they were working from office premises
• Ensuring strict data security and data leakage
  prevention features
