Microsoft designed the Windows 10 and Windows 11 architecture to enable managing the OS in new dynamic ways. This strategic shift provides the ability to fully manage Win10 devices similarly to mobile devices, reducing the reliance on traditional on-premises IT management infrastructure and extending management to devices regardless of location. The ability to manage Win10 devices without requiring LAN connectivity enables IT to ensure security and functionality while empowering users to work when, where, and how they are the most productive.

For years, IT issued a single PC or laptop to users as their only approved device for work. Today, users are not only demanding a choice of endpoint device, they are using multiple device types to do their jobs. These demands come across all levels of an organization, from task workers to the C-suite. Meeting these demands places an ever-growing burden on IT to empower users while maintaining corporate security standards. Modern Device Management (MDM) technologies enable IT to manage multiple device types with a consistent set of tools, ensuring consistent security while providing flexibility and a high quality user experience.

Applications are the primary concern for end users. Providing secure access to apps and their associated data is the primary concern for IT. Users want access to the apps they need to do their jobs, whenever, wherever, and however they work. The quality of the experience when users access apps is paramount for employee engagement and productivity. IT can deliver a high-quality experience that includes security and manageability to ensure compliance with corporate standards. World Wide Technology can help you deliver apps of all types - Windows, Linux, Mac, or device-native versions – to your end users simply and securely.

Desktop virtualization provides the ability to access Windows and Linux desktop environments from any type of endpoint device: PC, mobile device, thin client, etc. When we make the "desktop experience" something that end users access from anything, anywhere - instead of something tied to a physical device in a specific location - your employees are empowered to be more agile and productive. With security enhancements inherent in virtualized desktops, you are better able to keep data and users protected. With intelligent decoupling of the OS, apps, and data, you can reduce user downtime and expedite provisioning and recovery.

Many organizations struggle to deliver seamless digital employee experiences (DEX) that empower employees to work securely from anywhere. In this briefing, you'll learn how to create, monitor and optimize fresh experiences that improve employee productivity, engagement and empowerment.

Cloud Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a service that provides the ability to access Windows and Linux desktops hosted in the cloud from nearly any endpoint device and from any location. Cloud VDI is referred to as Desktop as a Service (DaaS) by many vendors although it represents a range of different architectures and capabilities. While vendors' implementations differ, in a Cloud VDI solution some or all components of a VDI architecture are hosted in the cloud. This gives your organization the ability to easily scale up and down an environment, reduce the administrative overhead and create a global platform with virtual desktops closer to the end users.

From coding assistants to autonomous coding agents, AI is reshaping how software gets built. This session explores the evolution of the modern SDLC—how no-code, low-code, and pro-code approaches are converging in an AI-native world—and what it means for developers, architects, and the organizations that depend on them. Attendees will leave with a practical lens on tooling, team readiness, and how to accelerate software delivery with AI as a core engineering partner.
