User environment management personalizes standardized corporate desktops by treating user information as a separate layer of the desktop. This layer is applied to the desktop as and when needed and is accessible in any environment - physical or virtual. User data is abstracted from the desktop, managed independently and used to personalize a standard desktop on-demand.
Desktop standardization reduces management costs and minimizes storage requirements. However standardized desktops are impersonal to a user and are therefore subject to low user adoption. User environment management takes a standardized desktop and applies all aspects of the user to that desktop when the user accesses it. Such aspects of the user not only include personal preferences, such as desktop look and feel, but also company-defined settings such as drive mappings, default printer and application access. This Policy and Personalization data is used in combination to turn a standard desktop into a personal, compliant, managed and accepted user environment.
