What is desktop management?

End-users crave mobility and flexibility, with the freedom to access their desktops, applications and data anytime from anywhere on any device.  Organizations and their IT departments are facing an increasing demand to support an ever growing and diverse base of user devices, operating systems, and applications. The sprawling complexity of computing environments makes it difficult to cost-effectively configure, manage, and maintain desktops and end-point devices for all users.
