Zero-Touch Deployment to Fuel Unified Endpoint Management Market Growth During Forecast Period
Zero-touch deployment is a method of configuring employee devices with company-specific protocols, programs, and settings remotely. This hands-off approach is becoming increasingly important as organizations’ cloud-based tech stacks and the volume of tablets, laptops, and mobile phones continue to grow. The ultimate goal in implementing a zero-touch model for unified device deployment and management is to architect an automated process for new users with required settings and applications without direct involvement from IT staff. The deployment of zero-touch with unified endpoint management enables smooth device provisioning without any manual intervention. With this feature, IT admins can easily configure devices remotely and manage them from a centralized console. Also, with zero-touch, endpoint devices automatically enroll in the UEM system upon first boot, ensuring they adhere to organizational security policies from the outset. Further, various companies are providing zero-touch deployment with unified endpoint management solutions. For instance, VMware delivers zero-touch enrollment (Workspace ONE) for XR devices. With Workspace ONE, organizations do not manually set up devices. They have started shipping the XR devices to end users, and these devices are automatically enrolled into Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM). Therefore, zero-touch deployment is likely to be a significant trend for the unified endpoint management market in the coming years.
