The so-called modern workspace requires a different approach when it comes to managing it. This has to do with the fact that this modern workspace should be flexible, hybrid, user-centric and secure, while providing an optimal user-experience. Traditional workspace management (based on patching, image management and client management tools) no longer fits this hybrid form of the workspace. For instance, fast and frequent security updates are almost impossible and the IT-admin burden created by the use of different devices/Windows versions/contextual requirements, is almost undoable. By looking look at the workspace as a modular concept instead of a monolithic concept, you can define several layers and decouple them from each other. You can then start managing them separately (platform, OS, security, applications, users, monitoring, etc.).
