Five Trends to Watch in Endpoint Device Management in 2024

This IDC Market Perspective discusses five key trends in endpoint device management for 2024. Generative AI, advanced wearables, frontline employee engagement, private 5G networks, and zero trust network access (ZTNA) are among technologies and markets that UEM will influence, and be affected by, over the next 12 months. This document also provides advice for CEM and UEM vendors to align with these trends."In 2024, generative AI will streamline endpoint device management, transforming OS and app patching and detecting misconfigured devices," says Phil Hochmuth, IDC's research vice president for Endpoint Device Management and Enterprise Mobility. "UEM tools in particular will take on a more prominent role in new deployment scenarios in 2024, including private 5G networks, ZTNA rollouts, and advanced deployments of new wearables, such as Apple's forthcoming Vision Pro."
