Endpoint modernisation is the process of managing and securing the devices, applications, and data that keep your workforce productive, whether they’re in the office or working remotely. In today’s fast-paced and evolving digital landscape, businesses need modern solutions that simplify operations, strengthen security, and boost productivity. ChromeOS is built for this new era of IT, offering a streamlined approach to managing your organisation’s endpoints more efficiently and securely.
A recent survey by Forrester of over 650 IT administrators highlights the importance of endpoint modernisation:
Top priorities for end-user computing over the next 12 months
The survey also revealed that 48% of IT leaders’ time is spent on endpoint security, management, and deployment1, making it critical for businesses to adopt streamlined solutions to reduce complexity and free up valuable IT resources.
Here’s a look at how much your tech stack can add complexity across your entire ecosystem, forcing IT leaders to spend nearly half their work week on endpoint management – time they could spend on more strategic, bigger-picture thinking.
With ChromeOS, Modernisation Is Within Reach
ChromeOS delivers four critical benefits for businesses looking to modernise their endpoints:
Simplified management and deployment
With ChromeOS, you can remotely configure, deploy, and manage your devices from the Google Admin console. You can also spend less time managing updates, which run automatically every 4 weeks. In fact, ChromeOS is 36% more efficient to manage and 63% faster to deploy than its competitors.2
AI-assisted workflows
Enhance creativity and collaboration with AI-powered features, like Help me write for generating content and Help me read to summarise large text blocks. Stay productive with tools like the Google Tasks shortcut to access your to-do list and Screencast for screen recordings with captions in 12 languages.
Automatic, proactive security
ChromeOS is more secure out of the box than Windows 11 and macOS. With built-in proactive protections, there have been no reported ransomware or virus attacks.3 Chrome’s Google Safe Browsing scans over 10 million URLs and files daily.4
Lower cost of operations
ChromeOS delivers a 245% ROI over 3 years, offering faster log-ins, fewer reboots, and reduced reimaging.2 With automatic security features, businesses experience fewer security threats and breaches, while less staff time is needed for deployment and management.
