Proactive IT with UEM & DEX – a powerful combination for IT success
CHECKLIST
BARAMUNDI CHECKLISTS provide concise, step-by-step expert advice for handling common IT challenges in a straightforward way. You can find more checklists here.
Instead of reacting only after endpoint errors occur, IT teams can now identify and address potential problems before they affect users with targeted proactive measures. The combination of Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and Digital Employee Experience (DEX) tools enable IT teams to deliver consistently reliable, high-performance IT environments that bolster employee productivity and improve user satisfaction.
Use this checklist to implement proactive IT practices by combining UEM and DEX solutions.

1. PREPARE: Create an overview, identify risks
Early detection and correction of endpoint issues requires thorough knowledge of installed endpoints, use, their current configurations and status, and where vulnerabilities exist. Continuous monitoring and analysis of endpoint telemetry data helps IT teams spot and address issues before they disrupt users.

2. ROLLOUT: Use update rings
Major OS and app updates should be deployed using a ring-based approach. Begin with key users to test stability and compatibility in real-world operation. Measure and assess the impact of updates before and after installation, then make needed changes before continuing with additional groups of users .
TIP: Use DEX tools to capture subjective user feedback alongside objective device telemetry data to spot unforeseen issues, adjust settings and optimize user experiences.

3. FOLLOW-UP: Identify problems, initiate measures
Use DEX telemetry data to quickly detect and address performance issues affecting specific endpoint types, configurations or software versions.

4. OPTIMIZE CONTINUOUSLY: DEX & UEM together
UEM and DEX together give IT teams the tools and data-driven insights needed to manage and secure endpoint devices comprehensively, continuously optimize infrastructure performance, support employee productivity, and improve user satisfaction with the digital systems they use for work.
TIP: IT teams that use UEM and DEX solutions together can better support growth and innovation while maximizing the value of IT for their users.
Proactive IT happens when people, processes, and technology all work together. UEM tools like the baramundi Management Suite increase endpoint control, security and stability. DEX tools like baramundi perform2work make it possible to continuously measure and improve employee experiences by linking device capabilities and performance with real-world user needs. DEX and UEM together form a foundation for proactive IT practices that strengthen infrastructure security, improve system reliability and inspire user productivity.
The baramundi Management Suite and baramundi perform2work provide comprehensive transparency, flexibility and control of IT infrastructure regardless of device or user location.
