According to Oracle, Java is a fast, secure and reliable programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless Java is installed, and more are created every day. From laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is everywhere.
2018 was a banner year for the digital workplace as organizations began to see the positive bottom line impact of investing in the digital experience of their employees. Building on this momentum, 2019 is set to be another monumental year. So, let’s ring in The New Year Nexthink-style! We asked some of the greatest minds in the industry one simple question: what will 2019 bring for the digital workplace and employee experience?
Although technology continues to evolve, the processes that support Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) have remained relatively unchanged for several decades. One of the main challenges to delivering high-quality IT services in this long-established approach is reactivity – that is, focusing on incident management as a means to resolve something that should never have happened in the first place.
With technology’s unrelenting advance, the evolution of the digital workplace has unarguably entered the fast lane. Microsoft – which provides critical digital workplace solutions through their Windows OS – is no exception. Indeed, end users indispensably depend on Microsoft’s range of workplace services to achieve everyday tasks – from simple log-ins to advanced programming – putting them at the front lines of any new updates and modifications.
Patrick, Vincent and myself founded Nexthink because we believed in a future in which IT departments and employees work together to have a great digital experience. At that time, we observed that IT departments were traditionally focused on server, network and applications and often neglected the employee experience as a key driver for success and productivity. At best, organizations were reactive to support users, instead of proactively fixing issues before employees were impacted.
