What Are Managed Workplace Services? - Stefanini

What Are Managed Workplace Services?

Managed Workplace Services, North America Defined

Gartner defines managed workplace services (MWS) as a subgroup of the IT outsourcing (ITO) market. It includes traditional end-user outsourcing (EUO) as well as new digital workplace services to provide integrated support, automated service, and cloud-first support services to end users. According to Gartner, EUO services include Service desk Desktop/laptop outsourcing services for both physical and virtual devices, and Mobility services to manage tablets and mobile devices. MWS is focused on delivering a digital workplace experience to end users so organizations can utilize their digital dexterity in the development of new digital business goals. The idea is to boost agility and employee experience and engagement through a more consumerized work environment, thus contributing to a digital transformation of the workplace.

Gartner Magic Quadrant

In 2019, Stefanini was positioned as a challenger in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant. For those unfamiliar, the Gartner Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a specific market that gives readers a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the market’s competitors. Similar to ISG Provider Lens™ Quadrant reports, they are used to educate readers about the market’s competing technology providers and their ability to deliver on the things end users require presently and in the future. Further, the Magic Quadrant allows users to understand the strategies used by the market’s technology providers to compete for end-user business, as well as how they are competitively positioned. Finally, it allows users to compare a technology provider’s strengths and challenges with their specific needs.

Why was Stefanini recognized as a Challenger in the U.S. in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant? Get an overview here!

Quadrant provides a graphical composition of four types of technology providers, pinpointing major players in markets where provider differentiation is distinct and growth is high:

  • Leaders – When a player is positioned as a leader, they are prepared for tomorrow as a result of the fact that they execute well against their current vision
  • Visionaries – Have a vision for changing market rules or understand where the market is going, but do not yet execute their plans well
  • Niche Players – Focus well on a small segments, or alternatively, are unfocused and do not out-innovate or out-perform others
  • Challengers – May dominate a large segment of the market, but don’t have an understanding of market direction

Not only are we a Challenger in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, but ISG also named us a Leader in a 2019 report. Get more details here!
