Inspire Your Modern Workforce with Next-Gen PCs
A recent multinational IDC survey shows just how important providing next-gen PCs to new employees can be.
Having the Right PC Is More Critical Now Than Ever Before
Companies continue to navigate a world where many employees have transitioned fully to working in remote or hybrid modes, talent acquisition remains challenging, and employee satisfaction and retention have become key performance metrics. As companies contemplate their next PC refresh, more IT decision-makers (ITDMs), line-of-business (LOB) managers, and HR professionals have come to recognize the
importance of outfitting employees with the right PCs to help them work smart, collaborate better, and protect the company’s assets and data.
This IDC white paper commissioned by Intel illuminates critical technologies, use cases, and employee benefits of refreshing your device fleet with modern PCs; explores some of the challenges IT faces, including keeping those PCs and the data they contain secure; and finally, looks at the evolving impact of employee recruitment, retainment, and satisfaction as it relates to the PCs companies deploy.
Explore the IDC White Paper to Understand:
A happy, highly collaborative workforce is a critical element of a successful company, and research shows that employees receiving modern PCs get more done and are happier.
New PCs’ benefits include enhanced endpoint security, upgraded data protection capabilities, and improved manageability features. Each of these is designed to help limit employee downtime, enhance productivity, and streamline the job of IT.
Intel is driving innovation in this space with its 13th Generation Intel Core Processors, which offer high-end CPU performance features. Companies looking for best-in-class security and manageability should consider PCs that leverage the Intel vPro platform.
PCs on the Intel vPro platform are tuned for collaboration and productivity, supported by the hybrid architecture that allocates resources to the job at hand, including collaboration apps and video calls.
