- Osterman Research and Unify Square released the results of a joint survey highlighting the demand to improve enterprise endpoint management and control. The survey found that three quarters of respondents do not have software or services in their IT infrastructure to automate unified endpoint management.

The survey polled 143 enterprise device management professionals across all major industries, including healthcare, and found that organizations are over spending by as much as $100,000 per year on unified endpoint management.

Out of the 77 percent of organizations that do not have an automated unified endpoint management system, 42 percent said their IT department’s time is spent manually troubleshooting device management issues.
