Three ways the right processors keep your teams productive, efficient and satisfied

By Bradley Kerstetter , Principal Solution Architect, Digital Workspace, CDW?

A recent survey found that IT is just as important as HR when it comes to employee experience. That makes sense when you consider that 55% of office workers say negative technology experiences impact their mood and morale.

Want to keep employees satisfied? Make sure they’re working with the right technology — and that starts with the processors in their PCs, laptops and notebooks.?

In my experience as a CDW solutions architect, I’ve seen the difference the right processor can make in helping people do their best work. Here are three ways processors can help keep your employee experience positive.?

1) Enable remote management and repair?

Downtime is frustrating. The faster you can resolve employees’ IT issues, the happier (and more productive) they will be.?

Intel vPro? technology is unique in today’s marketplace — only Intel processors with vPro technology enable hardware-level remote keyboard, video and mouse control from anywhere in the world. It lets IT teams discover, repair and help protect networked computing assets as easily as if the technician were there in person, even if an end user has a blue screen or failed operating system.?

At one CDW client using the Intel vPro? platform, the IT team receives about 10,000 support tickets each month, which they can now resolve faster than ever before. Their average time to resolution is under eight minutes.?

2) Securely power AI innovation?

From healthcare to retail to manufacturing, organizations in almost every industry are exploring new innovations with artificial intelligence, machine learning and large language models. Yet these applications demand significant power and memory. AI-enabled applications also bring new cybersecurity challenges as malware and ransomware threats evolve to exploit new vulnerabilities.?

AI PCs with Intel? Core? Ultra processors offer lower latency so users can tackle AI workloads locally and keep sensitive data out of the cloud, with features that integrate with different security vendor software and hardware to mitigate security risks. Employees who enjoy working with AI will appreciate the performance and security of Intel processors.?

3) Deliver lightweight performance for work-from-anywhere productivity?

The hybrid workforce is the new normal, so devices that help employees do their best work from anywhere should be high priorities for every organization.?

Today’s top performers want lighter laptops with powerful processors that give them desktop-like capabilities wherever they set up their workspaces. Don’t forget incredible battery life, 24/7 reliability and long-lasting durability.?

Intel processors such as the Intel? Core? Ultra deliver those qualities and more, which is what makes them so popular with everyone from physicians to graphic designers to software engineers.??

Intel and CDW enhance the ownership experience, too?

It’s great to give employees devices they love, but it’s even better to do so with confidence that you’re getting the capabilities you need without spending more than you have to.?

CDW offers tools and expertise that help IT leaders identify the ideal devices for all their employees. At a healthcare organization, for example, someone in the accounting department will have very different computing needs from a physician who views 3D models of the brain. I’m always happy to demonstrate the capabilities of various Intel-powered devices to help leaders see exactly what kind of performance to expect.?

As one of Intel’s most strategic global partners, CDW is uniquely positioned to help your organization optimize its total cost of ownership with Intel-powered devices — from deployment to technical support to cradle-to-grave device lifecycle management.?
