Today, millions of people across the globe are now working remotely. Though COVID-19 will soon be but a memory, this “work-from-anywhere” trend is here to stay. To support the distributed workforce, organizations have deployed virtual applications and desktops, but still struggle to make the employee experience as good or better than their experience in the office.

ControlUp surveyed over 450 end-user computing administrators and asked them about their most challenging problems in supporting remote work. From slow logons, application performance issues, network latency, unified communications issues, to slow sessions, this paper explains the top five survey findings and explores the ways ControlUp helps mitigate these problems.

At ControlUp, we have analyzed billions of hours of operational metadata, and have discovered the top 5 areas that produce the greatest benefit for supporting work-from-anywhere clinicians.

1. Ensure patient care resources are available
2. Increase performance for VDI / EUC sessions
3. Reduce logon time
4. Optimize unified communication
5. Analyze and optimize work and home networks

Often conducted manually, secure application provisioning can be painfully slow, essentially eradicating
the benefits of cloud. Without a single source of truth and the ability to visualize all potential traffic
paths, it’s nearly impossible to ensure that the intended security and connectivity policies are applied to
new cloud applications. Which is why we’ve extended the secure application functionality of Forward
Enterprise to the cloud.
