Description

A version of the Digital Experience Score for macOS based on hard data only, without the Nexthink Engage campaign, is available here.

Introduction

The Digital Employee Experience can be defined as "the ability of an employee to get things done by interacting with the IT environment in a safe and enjoyable manner".

By combining user sentiment with hard data retrieved from the endpoints, the Digital Experience Score provides a simple yet actionable way to both monitor the real experience of the employees with their digital workplace and identify opportunities for improvements, which might lead to increased productivity, reduced costs, reduced attrition and reduced time to market. This version of the Digital Experience Score assesses six areas impacting the digital employee experience:

  • Device
  • Web browsing
  • Business applications
  • Productivity & collaboration tools
  • Security
  • Overall employee Satisfaction

More information about the Digital Experience Score can be found in the product documentation.

Installation and configuration of the library pack

The Digital Experience Score library pack requires simple mandatory configuration steps that are described on this page.

Upgrade process

When upgrading a Nexthink Library Pack from one version to the next, particular care should be taken. Follow this link to read about the upgrade process from a version of a Library Pack to the next one.

Once you have read and understood this process, please return here for specific instructions regarding this pack.

Metrics

When upgrading to 1.0.2+, there are a large number of metrics that will conflict mainly due to the inclusion of remote workers in the grouping method. You must choose Replace as the menu option for all metrics. Any customizations made will need to be re-entered. In addition, please note that the historical data of these metrics will be lost during the migration.

Categories

If you have customized the DEX Score categories (in particular the Remote Worker vs Office Worker Device category, DXS – Binary, DXS – Domain, DEX – Binary, DEX – Domain, DEX - Agents), then you may well want to keep these customizations so leave the menu option to skip during the import.

Upgrade from 1.0.0+ to 2.0.0+ version

Customers with Nexthink 6.28+ have access to the 2.0.0+ version of the DEX Score. Please note that this version contains major changes compared to 1.0.0+. Some information about this upgrade can be found in this document. Reach out to the Nexthink Professional Services or certified partners to request guidance and support for this upgrade.

Note

Once the Library Pack is installed, the data collected to compute the Digital Experience Score is automatically shared with Nexthink, allowing Nexthink to provide comparative insights by benchmarking the Organization's Digital Employee Experience Score against other Organizations. Data collected by Nexthink is non-Identifiable Information be it personal, device or application and it is used for no other purpose than providing such comparative insights.
