In today’s business environment, the digital workspace plays a crucial role in supporting productivity, collaboration, and innovation. With the rise of remote and hybrid work models, it is essential that your digital workspace operates smoothly and reliably. Through a comprehensive health check, you can identify potential issues before they turn into problems and ensure that your environment is in peak condition.
What is the ITQ’s Digital Workspace Health Check?
Our health check is a thorough evaluation of your digital workspace and the underlying IT infrastructure. During the health check, we analyze your environment to identify potential issues, security risks, and bottlenecks. This is done with the purpose of ensuring that your digital workspace operates optimally now and in the future.
Why is a Health Check Essential?
- Preventing problems: Identifying potential issues before they cause major disruptions is one of the greatest benefits of a health check. By taking proactive measures, you can avoid downtime, productivity loss, and unexpected costs.
- Optimizing Performance: A well-maintained digital workspace ensures a smoother user experience, faster applications, and more efficient use of IT resources. This leads to satisfied users and increased productivity.
- Security and Compliance: In an era where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, it is crucial that your digital workspace meets the security industry standards.
- Cost Savings: By identifying operational inefficiencies, optimizing resource usage, or potentially avoiding emergency fixes, our health check can help avoid unexpected costs..
- Obtain a Second Opinion: A health check provides an opportunity for a second opinion on your digital workspace environment. This external review can offer fresh insights, uncover overlooked issues or areas for improvement, and validation of your current digital workspace strategies.
What Does our Health Check Involve?
ITQ uses a proven approach to conduct a health check and gain a comprehensive understanding of the state of your digital workspace.:
- Investigate: A thorough architecture review of your current digital workspace infrastructure. The ITQ consultant uses a combination of interviews, design and documentation reviews, whiteboarding, and tooling to gather information about your digital workspace environment.
- Analyze: The assessment indentifies potential risks, such as outdated software, and misconfigurations, and security risks by comparing your digital workspace environment against over 200 industry standards and our own best practices.
- Report: A detailed report that includes all prioritized findings and recommendations. Findings are prioritized to help you address the most critical issues first.
- Present: The ITQ consultant creates an overview of the prioritized findings and presents it to you, discussing each point in detail to ensure clarity and alignment with your needs.
When should you consider a Health Check?
While regular health checks are recommended, there are specific times when a health check can be particularly beneficial:
- Before a Major Update or Migration: Before undertaking a major upgrade or migration, it is crucial to know if your current environment is ready for the change.
- When Facing Recurring Issues: If your users regularly experience problems such as slow performance or connection issues, a health check can help identify and resolve underlying causes.
- Proactively: One of the goals of our health check is to identify problems before they become issues. Proactively conducting a health check halfway during the lifecycle of your platform ensures that it still aligns with original expectations.
- Adopting a Hybrid Environment or Migrating to the Cloud: If you are transitioning to a hybrid setup or moving your digital workspace to the cloud, a health check is essential. It ensures that your current infrastructure can integrate effectively with new cloud services and identifies any necessary adjustments to support a seamless migration. This can be extended with our Desktop-as-a-Service solution (DaaS) Readiness Assessment to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of your environment’s preparedness for the right DaaS solution.
What’s next after our Health Check?
After our consultant has presented the findings of the health check, the next logical step is to follow up on these. Within the report are actionable recommendations, which allow organizations to implement these.
If desired, ITQ can also assist in implementing the recommended improvements together with your team.
