Ivanti: User Workspace Manager 10.1 FR3

The release of User Workspace Manager (UWM) 10.1 Feature Release 3 provides deeper integration with customers on their Windows 10 journey, with some great updates to enhance the user’s post-migration experience in a Windows as a Service world.

You may have read recently of the changes in the last few months to the Windows 10 Servicing Model that shifts the onus somewhat on organizations themselves to decide when Feature Updates are ready for Enterprise Deployment.  To clarify the UWM position, an update was made to our own Windows 10 Servicing Support statement which is available via a Community Article available here.

A common theme as organizations continue to migrate their workspaces to Windows 10/Server 2016 is the realization that they are inadvertently entering a constant state of migration.  The rate of change in Windows 10 is unprecedented, with the Semi-Annual Channel rolling out Feature Updates that have the potential to disrupt businesses overnight without careful planning and testing.  With all this in mind, FR3 has a key focus on reducing disruption to users during these changing times, by providing IT with functionality that ensures continuity in a Windows 10 world.
