Ivanti’s 2025 Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Report reveals a troubling disconnect. While IT professionals overwhelmingly believe in the positive outcomes driven by DEX, the same survey data shows the adoption and integration of DEX management strategies hitting a plateau.  

IT professionals list a number of constraints causing DEX progress to stall out in their organizations. But whatever the cause, letting DEX fall behind does more than impact employee productivity – it has next-level consequences in areas like security and AI adoption.  

Join Ivanti’s Mariah Shotts and AI expert Rob May as they unpack the findings from our latest global survey of 3,300 IT professionals and office workers. We’ll explore the root causes of stalled DEX adoption, the hidden costs of digital friction and the practical steps IT leaders can take to drive meaningful change.

Breaking Down the Exposure Management Maturity Model

Ivanti's latest research confirms that the nature of how we work, and how employees want to work, is evolving quickly. That leaves organizations and their leaders with consequential choices that can either retain or drain their talent. The main dilemma? Whether to RTO (return to office) or embrace flexible work.

With office workers reporting a 50-point delta between the level of flexibility they have and the level of flexibility they want, today’s organizations grapple with a profound flexibility gap. (And it’s even greater among IT experts.)

Every organization faces risk. What separates the vulnerable from the well-protected isn’t whether you have exposure — it’s how you manage it.   

Gaining visibility over your organization’s attack surface lets you prioritize which threats you address based on the degree of risk they pose. That’s when you can put together an exposure management strategy that empowers you to gauge your vulnerabilities and maintain the security posture appropriate to your business.

Join us for a live webinar with Ivanti’s Robert Waters, who leads marketing for Ivanti’s Exposure Management solution, and Grand Bank CTO Robert Hanson. We’ll discuss the real-world tactics and strategies you can use to proactively safeguard your organization.

Proactive Protection with Exposure Management

Bots are powerful tools at nearly every level of your IT & security strategy. They can boost user productivity, optimize device performance, and shore up cyberhygiene, all without any need for manual intervention. Go beyond those first-order use cases, though, and there’s another powerful way to use bots to your organization’s advantage: as a key source of informative data. As bots continue to run, they provide records of where and when they’re being deployed, offering key insights into the state of your environment and how it can best be managed. What’s more, survey bots – automations that directly reach out to users to capture user sentiment – can further add to those insights, providing you with a trove of insights to inform your strategic decision making. Join us for a live webinar with Ivanti’s Rex McMillan, Chris Goettl and Robin Rowe where we’ll explore the transformative impact of bots in IT and security. You’ll learn: How data gathered by bots can inform strategic decision-making. How bots can automate routine ITSM tasks, enabling your team to focus on higher-order initiatives. Actionable strategies for leveraging bots to enhance your security posture and proactively mitigate potential threats. The business impact of integrating bots into your workflows, informed by real-world examples and success stories.

It’s no secret that AI and automation can help IT teams reduce workloads and accelerate service delivery — in fact, Ivanti research shows that 92% of IT workers find automation necessary to be efficient at their job.  

However, when it comes to the use of generative AI, IT professionals are not convinced: 56% believe that it will benefit employers more than employees. Some of this scepticism comes from lack of clarity around gen AI plans and applications in the organization.  

So, what are the opportunities for IT teams to leverage gen AI in their day-to-day and how can we expect this space to develop?  

During this discussion panel our speakers unpack different use cases for gen AI in service management that are already available today and that are likely to emerge in the future. They outline the benefits to IT’s daily workloads and their professional development. 

You’ll learn: 
-  What does IT talent really think of gen AI use in the workplace? 
- How can gen AI decrease the service desk’s mean time to resolution? 
- How can applying gen AI as a co-pilot to self-service enable IT to shift left? 
- As gen AI evolves what use cases within service management are likely to emerge in the future? 
- What can we do to minimize AI anxiety among your IT talent?
