End user IT support in 2014 is more challenging than ever. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, our simple "desktop" world has flipped upside down – nowadays just about all employees are carrying their own devices and utilizing external technologies like Gmail and Dropbox, allowing them to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

Not only are today's IT pros facing pressure to find a balance between regulatory control and user satisfaction, but they're also left sorting through a changing vendor landscape.

While traditional desktop management vendors are talking about IT-as-a-service, desktop virtualisation vendors are talking about desktops-as-a-service and desktops in the cloud. Then there's Microsoft who wants Windows everywhere, and mobile vendors who are talking about BYOD, Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM). Even Samsung, Google, and Apple have gotten into the game by adding enterprise functionality and APIs to their ostensibly "consumer" products. How does one keep up? And most importantly, where does your organization invest?

This half-day seminar, hosted by Rob Bamforth - Principal Analyst with Quocirca Ltd - tackles these challenges head on by providing a real-world conversation about what's happening and what real companies are doing to address it. We all know that time is of the essence – you need to start taking action to address these mounting pressures – let us provide you with the specific steps for dealing with the future of end user computing.

Register today and you'll learn how to:

• Prioritize your organisation's response to end user demands and stay one step ahead
• Establish a strategy and/or policy to secure and control the spread of company data
• Determine whether traditional desktop has a future in the mobile world
• Manage today's applications - combining legacy Windows, web, SaaS, and new mobile device-native apps
• Shift the balance of power back to the IT department
