Device Ready. User Not Ready.

Company: Recast Software
Device readiness is not the same as user readiness. This eBook explains why organizations can successfully enroll devices, deploy applications, and manage identity while still leaving users without the familiar preferences and application settings they need to work productively.
It reframes the issue as a continuity problem rather than a narrow profile problem. Across onboarding, rebuilds, shared devices, nonpersistent VDI, hybrid application delivery, and device refresh, users often pay a hidden reset tax: lost settings, repeated manual reconfiguration, repeat tickets, and time spent rebuilding a familiar workspace.
The eBook outlines why legacy profile approaches often fall short in modern environments, especially when they move too much data, depend on sign-in or sign-out, or remain tied to traditional file shares. It then introduces a more selective model: capture only the settings that matter for each application, restore them at the point of use, and keep IT in control of what should roam.
Readers will learn how Recast Application Workspace helps close the gap by bringing forward the right user settings across local and virtual environments, making the modern workplace feel familiar, consistent, and ready to use.
