Following up on the first post on this topic, this post explores what are the key capabilities that AEM will deliver in the years ahead. There are a few key business outcomes that AEM will deliver on
- Relieve the overhead on IT Ops teams who are inundated with operational and user experience issues
- Automated processes like patching will improve cyber hygiene and reduce risk
- Standardization of policies and controls across the endpoint estate
- Reduce tool sprawl – AEM and tool fragmentation are like chalk and cheese.
Given the common challenges faced for Endpoint Management, these are the top 5 biggest outcomes AEM will deliver that will increase automation and reduce the burden on teams.
The number of devices under management are only expected to grow
- Automated Patch Management
- Automatically deploy patches and updates across all endpoints to ensure that all systems are up to date with the latest security fixes and software improvements, reducing vulnerability to exploits.
- Compliance Reporting
