Rethinking IT Transformation – with DEX as a Key to Success

28. April 2025, Avatar of Robert KlingerRobert Klinger

IT transformation is more than just adopting new technologies – it’s about fundamentally changing the way we work. While organizations invest in modern IT tools, one critical question often remains unanswered: How can IT truly help employees work more productively, happily, and efficiently?

Short & sweet

  • Why Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and Digital Employee Experience (DEX) need to be considered together to solve modern IT challenges
  • How DEX helps reduce IT-related frustration and builds a sustainable, human-centered IT strategy
  • The key challenges currently facing IT and HR teams – and how DEX addresses them
  • The vital role of Digital Employee Experience in driving digital transformation within organizations

UEM has proven to be an effective way to manage devices securely and efficiently. But in a hybrid work environment, that alone isn’t enough. Organizations need a people-first approach – and that’s where Digital Employee Experience (DEX) comes in.

The Limits of UEM – and Why DEX is the Perfect Complement

UEM has become essential for ensuring IT security, managing devices, and maintaining compliance. However, with new work models and rising expectations for digital processes, there's a growing need for a more holistic approach to tech transformation.
The solution?

UEM provides a strong technical foundation; DEX delivers a human-centered IT strategy. Together, they create the backbone of successful IT transformation where technology and people work in harmony.

Why DEX is the Key to Successful IT Transformation

DEX isn’t just another IT tool – it’s a strategic lever that aligns technology with employee needs, making IT transformation more effective and sustainable:

  • From reactive to proactive IT: With deeper insights into how digital tools are actually used, potential issues can be identified and addressed early.
  • IT as an enabler, not a roadblock: A seamless digital work environment boosts efficiency and builds trust in the IT department.
  • Stronger collaboration between IT and HR: DEX provides data-driven insights that empower IT and HR to jointly advance the digital transformation of the employee experience.

The Top 5 IT Transformation Challenges – and How DEX Solves Them

1. IT as a reactive support function rather than a strategic driver

Traditional IT models focus on fixing problems after they arise. DEX enables a proactive approach that reduces downtime and saves costs in the long run – a critical step in any technology transformation.

2. Hybrid and decentralized work models

The future of work is flexible. IT teams need to provide solutions that work seamlessly regardless of location. DEX supports smooth workflows and simplifies tech support – actively driving company-wide transformation.

3. Lack of data to guide IT and HR decisions

Without meaningful metrics, it’s hard to measure IT transformation success. DEX delivers actionable insights into IT usage and employee experience, forming a solid basis for strategic decisions in both IT and HR.

4. Productivity loss from inefficient IT processes

Outdated systems and poor integration slow down daily work. DEX ensures IT aligns with the way people actually work – not the other way around – turning transformation into a real cultural shift.

5. Shadow IT and lack of transparency in IT usage

Employees often turn to unauthorized software when approved tools don’t meet their needs. DEX analyzes workflows and helps optimize IT transformation processes with intent and precision.

Conclusion: UEM + DEX = Successful IT Transformation

The future of IT isn’t just about managing devices – it’s about creating a human-centered strategy. While UEM ensures a secure and efficient IT infrastructure, DEX adds the critical value of a connected work environment that intelligently links people, processes, and technology.

Whether it’s digital transformation, employee experience, or IT strategy – the combination of DEX and UEM is the key to long-term success.

Now is the time to enhance your UEM with DEX – for an IT landscape that not only works but puts people first.
