Heads Up: Addressing the Specific Device Management Needs of XR Headsets
Many Fortune 500 companies increasingly rely on AR, VR, and XR (augmented, virtual, and extended reality) devices to train employees, collaborate, perform maintenance, visualize data, run product demos, and more. But traditional mobile device management (MDM) or unified endpoint management (UEM) platforms are not necessarily good for managing AR/VR/XR devices. These headsets have specific management and security needs, and once an enterprise scales its AR/VR/XR program, it needs a platform tailored specifically to these types of devices. Innovative companies like ArborXR have stepped up to fill this need.
Rain or Shine, IT Budgets Refuse Decline
The IT spending outlook for 2023 can best be described with the old British slogan, “keep calm and carry on.” For at least a year, enterprises have been expecting the recessionary shoe to drop as central banks raised interest rates to fight inflation. War in Ukraine and increasingly brittle supply chains have not helped. By now, we would have expected more companies to be cautiously preserving cash, preparing for a recession. And yet, for the most part, businesses are not cutting IT budgets. This research byte is a brief description of some of the findings in our IT Spending and Staffing Benchmarks 2023/2024 study.
