G2 Names Nerdio a Leader Across Fall 2026 Reports for Desktop as a Service Read the blog

INDEPENDENT RESEARCH REPORT

The Great Migration: The forces reshaping enterprise end-user computing—and what comes next

End-user computing is undergoing its biggest transformation in three decades, and it's not unfolding the way most IT leaders expected. Nerdio commissioned an independent survey of enterprise EUC decision makers to separate what's actually happening from what's assumed.  

The findings: modernization is well underway, but it's not a simple platform swap. IT teams are running hybrid, multi-platform environments, leaning harder into Microsoft's Windows Cloud ecosystem, and discovering that operational complexity, not platform choice, is now the real barrier to progress. 

Download the report to see where your peers stand today, where they're headed next, and how the leaders are turning a platform shift into a real operational advantage. 

94 %+

of respondents include Microsoft EUC technologies in their long-term strategies

73 %

plan to standardize on Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, or both 

63 %

say licensing and pricing changes have accelerated their modernization plans 

Selecting the platform has become the easy part. Operational excellence will separate the organizations that simply migrate from those that truly transform."
