SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODERNIZING WORKSPACE AND HARDWARE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT IN AN ENTERPRISE PRODUCTIVITY ECOSYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020212 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODERNIZING WORKSPACE AND HARDWARE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT IN AN ENTERPRISE PRODUCTIVITY ECOSYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for modernizing workspace and hardware lifecycle management in an enterprise productivity ecosystem.

• A client information handling system (IHS) is described, which includes a processor and memory.
• The memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the client IHS to perform certain actions.
• The client IHS transmits an access request and context information to a workspace orchestration service through a local management agent.
• The local management agent receives files or policies from the workspace orchestration service, which enable the agent to create a workspace based on a workspace definition.
• The workspace orchestration service calculates security and productivity targets based on the access request and context information, and creates the workspace definition accordingly.
• The workspace is then instantiated based on the workspace definition.

Potential applications of this technology include:

• Streamlining workspace and hardware lifecycle management in enterprise environments.
• Enhancing productivity and security by dynamically creating workspaces based on specific access requests and context information.

Problems solved by this technology include:

• Simplifying the process of managing workspaces and hardware in enterprise environments.
• Ensuring that workspaces are created with the appropriate security and productivity targets based on access requests and context information.

Benefits of this technology include:

• Improved efficiency in managing workspaces and hardware in enterprise environments.
• Enhanced productivity and security by tailoring workspaces to specific access requests and context information.

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods for modernizing workspace and hardware lifecycle management in an enterprise productivity ecosystem are described. in some embodiments, a client information handling system (ihs) may include a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the client ihs to: transmit, by a local management agent to a workspace orchestration service, an access request and context information; receive, at the local management agent from the workspace orchestration service, one or more files or policies configured to enable the local management agent to instantiate a workspace based upon a workspace definition, wherein the workspace orchestration service is configured to: (i) calculate a security target and a productivity target based upon the access request and the context information, and (ii) create the workspace definition based upon the security target and the productivity target; and instantiate the workspace.
