Every IT leader wants fewer tickets. Many invest in automation, self-service portals, and AI agents to get there. Yet ticket volumes remain stubbornly high, and the service desk stays overloaded. The issue is not the effort or intent. It’s the approach. Most organizations are trying to eliminate tickets without understanding the experience that creates them. They optimize workflows after something breaks but ignore the conditions that cause issues in the first place.

It’s no secret that all software and more broadly, any technology that doesn’t move atoms is ripe for disruption by the current and future capabilities of large language models. Any workflow, application, or digital process that can be expressed in code can be redesigned, improved, and transformed at speed and scale. AI-first companies will outpace legacy players by orders of magnitude, and many workflow-based models with humans in the loop will be fundamentally reshaped.

We’re thrilled to share the exciting news that Nexthink has been recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the inaugural 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for DEX Tools. In our view, what makes this recognition truly special is that it comes directly from the people who know our platform best – the IT leaders who use Nexthink every single day. Apart from this, we are recognised as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for DEX Management Tools for the second consecutive year.

Organizations see AI’s transformative potential, but success requires more than technology – it demands a clear strategy led by IT. A structured AI implementation roadmap aligns initiatives with business goals, establishes governance, and enables measurable ROI, while improving employee and customer experiences. Yet, 66% of organizations view AI as critical, but only 38% report meaningful competitive advantage, highlighting the need for disciplined adoption.

Today marks another milestone for Nexthink as we introduce a powerful evolution of our platform, one that will meaningfully expand how customers derive value and empower many more teams across IT, HR, and the business to use Infinity. Welcome to Workspace: a new destination where the future of DEX and IT work comes together.

In today’s digital workplace, speed and precision in IT support can make or break the employee experience. Long resolution times, repetitive troubleshooting, and lack of visibility often frustrate both users and support teams. That’s where Nexthink comes in—bringing powerful capabilities like Amplify, Device View,and Assist to transform how Service Desk teams operate.

Digital Employee Experience is quickly moving from an IT concern to a boardroom priority. According to Gartner, “By 2026, 50% of digital workplace leaders will have established a DEX strategy and tool, up from 30% in 2024.” However, enterprises can still lose up to 470,000 hours per year due to poor DEX highlighting the need for organizations to pay close attention to the experience of their employees. However, implementing a DEX tool alone isn’t enough.

The way employees work is being transformed by AI, expanding digital environments, and rapid organizational change. These shifts create new opportunities for performance, but they also make productivity fragile – easily disrupted by complexity, friction, and underutilized tools.

From Microsoft Copilot to ChatGPT, AI applications are quickly becoming everyday workplace tools. But for many organizations, turning on these capabilities isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Enterprise licenses for AI tools can cost millions, yet few companies can confidently say employees are using them effectively, or safely. The reality is that most AI rollouts start strong but stall fast.

Price is not the same as cost. When organizations evaluate new end-user technology investments, whether that’s laptops, operating systems, or management tools the conversation inevitably turns to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). TCO studies traditionally focus on direct, measurable costs: hardware procurement, software licensing, support contracts, and lifecycle services. But there’s a growing blind spot in these calculations: the employee experience.
