Managed endpoint services are crucial for organizations to ensure their devices are secure, up-to-date, and functioning optimally. This function is so important that the global unified endpoint management market, valued at USD 4.48 billion in 2022, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.4% from 2023 to 2030. The process comprises the implementation, administration, and support of endpoint management systems, and provides a streamlined approach to device administration across an organization.
Endpoint service providers typically experience various challenges, but a new, integrated solution now exists, thanks to a recent partnership between Adaptiva and Insight Enterprises. Here’s what to know:
Challenges Facing Managed Endpoint Services Providers
One of the main challenges that managed endpoint service providers like Insight face is maintaining security across the many different devices and applications their customers use. As organizations adopt additional operating systems and software, keeping everything patched and secure becomes more complex. Manual patch management can be slow and error-prone, leading to potential security risks.
Resource allocation is another significant challenge. IT departments often struggle to balance everyday maintenance tasks with strategic projects. The current shortage of skilled staff to manage and support these complex environments makes it even harder for organizations to achieve high performance and robust security. This isn’t about to change anytime soon; Gartner reports that 86% of CIOs are experiencing increased competition for qualified candidates.
Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the talent shortage in the United States will grow to 1.2 million by 2026. Companies must find innovative ways to automate IT management and reduce their reliance on human workers.
