Enterprises globally are elevating digital employee experience (DEX) into a strategic business capability. According to a new market research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG), organizations are rapidly implementing AI-enabled workplace management tools to drive operational performance, improve workforce resilience, and boost productivity across hybrid working environments.
The study, titled 2026 ISG Provider Lens® Global Future of Work Solutions, reveals that hybrid and distributed work models have solidified into permanent operational standards. Consequently, digital systems now serve as the primary environment for day-to-day employee operations. To manage the expanding diversity of end-user endpoints, cloud collaboration systems, and technical architectures, organizations are shifting away from passive monitoring toward unified management platforms capable of converting operational telemetry into proactive remediation.
“Digital employee experience has become a business priority because workforce performance increasingly depends on the quality of everyday digital interactions,” said Bill Huber, ISG partner, Digital Platforms and Solutions. “Organizations are adopting AI-enabled workplace platforms to increase efficiency, improve reliability and strengthen operational resilience.”

Connecting DEX to End-User Computing with AI-Based Remediation
It is time for businesses to act before disruptions affect operations. A trend is emerging where companies are combining digital experience monitoring with AI-powered end-user computing (EUC) management to address a problem early. Contemporary workplace systems use constant tracking, behavioral analysis, and automatic diagnostics to detect problems that may affect performance. Self-healing features fix minor system issues automatically so that the workload on IT departments is relieved and device performance remains within expected ranges.
This fundamental move towards intelligent automation offers solutions to several major IT support issues:
Better Support with Less Supervision: Diagnostics helped by artificial intelligence as well as workflows of low-code or code-free levels equip Level 1 and Level 2 support employees with a powerful means to solve intricate technical tickets themselves.
Optimal Use of Resources: Repetitive troubleshooting by automation allows senior systems specialists to spend more time on digital transformation efforts that have a higher return on investment.
Transparency and Controls: Besides that, the enforcement of clear approval checks, AI explainability, and outcome validation help automated actions remain in line with the company’s compliance expectations.
“The line between monitoring digital experiences and actively managing them is rapidly disappearing as enterprises adopt platforms that connect insights with intelligent action,” said Bruce Guptill, lead author of the report.
Driving Measurable Business Outcomes and Future Planning
Expectations of enterprises for their digital workplace platforms have moved beyond operational visibility only to the business results that come out from a platform. Now IT teams are looking for solutions that prevent service disruptions, reduce overall incidents and provide consistent service across many devices and geographical locations.
With daily IT tasks, understanding and applying digital work experience insights have now become drivers for workforce planning, enterprise engagement decisions and IT strategic investments. For example, the report named Nanoheal as an Emerging Player which shows their promising technology and growth within their industry.
