How desktop as a service (DaaS) is helping business leaders rethink IT — and win

For many companies navigating hybrid work, aging hardware and overburdened IT teams have become major roadblocks to growth. The solution? A growing number of organizations are turning to desktop as a service (DaaS) — a cloud-based platform that delivers secure, virtual desktops to employees anywhere, on any device.
This shift isn't just about convenience. It's a strategic move that helps businesses reduce costs, improve security and empower a more agile workforce.
A smarter way to work
Traditional desktop management is time-consuming and resource-intensive. IT teams are often stuck managing updates, patches and hardware issues. DaaS changes that by centralizing desktop environments in the cloud. Employees can access their workspaces from anywhere, while IT gains full control and visibility from a single dashboard.
The result? Lower capital expenses, streamlined operations and a workforce that's equipped to perform at its best.
Security without stress
With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated, security is top of mind for every business leader. DaaS offers built-in compliance features, end-to-end encryption and multifactor authentication — ensuring sensitive data stays protected. And because desktops are managed centrally, lost or stolen devices no longer pose a major risk.
From cost center to growth engine
Unlike traditional virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), which requires significant upfront investment, DaaS operates on a flexible subscription model. Businesses pay only for what they use, freeing up capital for innovation and growth.
For forward-thinking companies, DaaS isn't just an IT solution — it's a competitive advantage.

Younger employees use AI at work but don't want to tell their bosses, survey shows

This story was originally published on HR Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily HR Dive newsletter. Although many millennials and Generation Z workers use artificial intelligence tools at work, about half are hesitant to admit how much of their work is created by AI, according to an Aug. 5 report from Cox Business. Workers said they use AI agents to enhance their workplace productivity by summarizing documents or meeting notes, brainstorming ideas or creative content, analyzing data, creating reports and coding or debugging. 'Our survey highlights valuable insights into how organizations can better align with the expectations of their younger employees,' Jeff Breaux, executive vice president and chief commercial officer for Cox Communications, said in a news release. 'This presents a tremendous opportunity for companies and their IT teams to enhance their strategies around tech investment, rollouts, training and policies; ensuring they meet the evolving needs of a workforce that is rapidly becoming the majority,' Breaux said. In a survey of more than 1,000 Gen Z and millennial workers in the U.S., 47% said they feared that AI could replace their jobs — a top reason they don't want to disclose their AI use. In addition, 30% said they're unfamiliar with their company's AI policy or their company doesn't have a defined policy. More than 60% reported using personal apps or software at work rather than their workplace's tools, creating a growing 'shadow IT' issue that could lead to security risks, the report found. Nearly 70% of younger workers said they feel overwhelmed by the number of tech tools provided by their workplace. However, only 16% feel they have real influence over tech decisions at work. In the next three years, Gen Z and millennial workers predict AI tools will replace some job roles but create new opportunities, increase productivity and efficiency, enhance creativity and innovation and improve decision-making and strategic planning. Looking ahead to 2026, Gen Z workers said employers should focus on improving cybersecurity, and millennials said workplaces should focus on workflow optimization. In another survey, nearly half of Gen Z workers said their bosses don't appreciate the benefits of AI tools at work, according to a report from UKG. In addition, 90% said AI will save them time at work, and 70% said they've taught themselves most of the AI skills they use for their jobs.
