In recent years, the demand for real-time remediation solutions has been on the rise as organizations seek to streamline their support operations and improve customer satisfaction. Real-time remediation solutions are designed to help IT support teams quickly identify and resolve user issues by automating common troubleshooting tasks and providing actionable insights. Another reason for the rise in demand is the massive shift to work from anywhere that has occurred post COVID-19. According to Gartner, Inc. a research and advisory firm, it is predicted that work from anywhere will continue to rise. By year-end 2023, 48% of knowledge workers will be working hybrid and fully remote, up from 27% in 2019, with 39% of those working hybrid, up from 12% in 2020.

Hybrid is no longer just an employee perk but an employee expectation, challenging employers to create a human-centric approach to “hybrid.” However, there is no sign of a decline in hybrid work. According to a Gartner, Inc. Hybrid Work Employee Survey, 74% of hybrid or remote employees say their expectations for working flexibly have increased. Only 4% of current hybrid or remote employees have a preference for an on-site arrangement. This hybrid working shift creates a challenge for IT admins to have the ability to monitor and remediate remote endpoints, and this is where real-time remediation solutions come in. This whitepaper will examine the current market for real-time remediation solutions, including key trends, challenges, and opportunities.
